The described behavior does not occur on a real 42S; in the first case, the display shows the Y register contents in the top line and the "VV?" prompt in the lower line.

In the 2nd program program, the behavior is the same as the first.

It seems this 'error' in Free42 could be more desirable than genuine 42S behavior, under the right conditions.
