In home view there is a syntax error no matter if I type SETBASE(88), SETBASE(#88), SETBASE (#88,3), SETBASE(88,3) or whatever. Any ideas?

I think you may be in RPN. To use RPN you would have to enter

#88d // d may be omitted if you use system base
4 // To convert to Hex (0: system, 1: bin, 2: oct, 3: dec, 4: hex)
SETBASE(2) // To absorb two arguments from the stack

Sorry about the formatting, but don't know how to do a nice table and multiple spaces are ignored, however // denotes a comment

I don't understand how this supposed to work in CAS but some help may probably be found on the XCAS website.
