Beyond that, you are welcome. Smile
Well, I though that by worshiping a little I could get free examples how on to do this math staff in this great WP-34S calculator Smile

Yesterday I couldn't sleep so I did some browsing around the net learning a bit more on on to use the HP-42S (I have just the emulator) to see if I can take advantage of my new WP-34S. So it was past midnight when I gave up and decided to write my previous post.

(...) It took me many (!!) hours to write it, including endless correction loops as the project developed. And more than once I reached the point where I was thinking "enough is enough". Writing and rewriting 244 pages just for nothing - without the slightest idea of any revenue - can be regarded as more than just a bit crazy even by very close people. So I avoided copying stuff I found in earlier manuals covered sufficiently IMHO to reduce my workload and since I assess that being just boring and adding no value. I entered pointers to those manuals instead.

Well, our friends from the USA repeatedly complained about that short form (although I declared it being a reference only), so I felt pressed to add some elementary RPN chapters for them. And the chapters and appendices about flashing, hardware, and advanced functions came as I had to write them down for me anyway to be able to operate my own WP 34S.

(..) There will be more about those topics in the manual of the 43S.
Thank you so much Walter, for your dedication to this cause and to take time to reply here.
I understand perfectly your point and fully agree.
That's why I defend that the service should be paid, specially on open free projects like these. For that reason, I made a modest donation (I know, it was tiny, but I did just one calculator Smile ) and I'm willing to pay for the printed version for the WP-34S Owners Guide V3.3 or above.

And I can't wait for the next big thing: the WP-43S project!
(Although I have a slight WAF problem to deal with... even this morning my wife keep asking me "why do you need so many calculators? Are you planning to do big calculations on what???. She is a nurse, you see... extremely intelligent and practical - I guess more than me - so, sometimes she looks to me like I'm a little bit on the wild/nuts side... Smile )
