Thank you both for taking the time to reply!

1. The best way to return multiple answers is to use a list or vector. Example:

RETURN [A,B,C...];

RETURN {A,B,C...};

Granted, but I meant put A, B, and C on separate levels of the stack. There doesn't seem to be any way to take a list apart, RPN-style.

Quote:4. Using the INPUT command will automatically store the value. So INPUT(A); will prompt for A and store its value in A.

I guess I didn't make myself clear. I meant being able to store a value in a variable specified by the user. So a program could store a value in MyNewVariable, named by the user on the spot.

I'd like to be able to create key reassignments that, for example, activate when the key is held down for half a second, or with another key held down simultaneously, while leaving its ordinary behavior unchanged. I use this *all the time* on my 50g, it's made it immensely more functional.

Thank you!

I sincerely hope you are right! Though the keyboard will still leave a lot to be desired, IMO - the more so if repurposed as a "51g". I'll gladly live with it, though!
