1. I noticed a bug on the ATAN function when used with complex arguments. For instance, « (3,2) ATAN » should return (1.338972522294.,0.146946666226.) but instead returns (1.338972522294.,0.402359478109.)

Aargh... what an embarrassment. Dumb bug, I fixed it, will come out on the next unofficial release (probably next week).Thanks for the report! We actually need testers, lots of them.

There's no LASTARG. However...user input gets automatically pushed to the UNDO stack when you run a command from the keyboard. You can get any value from that last user input using STKPICK.

Press and hold VAR to switch back to 1 menu mode if you like, but having your variables menu always available is a time saver.

**EDIT**: On+VAR, not just VAR. Long press.

I'm looking forward to exploring more. Great job!
