Very nice! It definitely speeds up conversions, which is what I tend to do a lot of. I wish it was easier with the Prime's built-in functions, but in my opinion doing it their way involves a lot of keystrokes. In RPN mode, converting 5 of one unit to another is: [5] [Shift] [Units] [Soft menu-Units] [Soft menu-Drill down and select FROM unit] [Enter] [Shift] [Units] [Soft menu-Drill down and select TO unit] [Enter] [Shift] [Unit] [Soft menu-Tools] [Convert] [Enter]. And if I want to also convert that same quantity to another unit, I have to go through much of that all over again. There isn't a simple [Shift] [Unit soft key] to hop between units on the fly as is possible in Units48 or on the 48/50 series calcs. :-(

Your app brings things back around to nearer to what I'm used to seeing on the 50g, which is about as efficient as it gets without dedicated unit keys like the 35s has. Thanks!

On the topic of unit conversion, does anyone know why Length and Energy are missing their key shortcuts in the Prime's [Units] soft menu? It would be nice to be able to enter [Shift] [Units] [2] [2] to get centimeters, for example, as is possible with most of the other unit types.
