Truly sadden by my Prime purchase - status/plans for RPN support?

[kevinwaite]

Hello,
I lept without looking and bought a HP Prime 2AP18AA#ABA, a week ago.

I learned to make a user key put up %CHANGE() on the entry line - but still must press enter to execute it. I do not understand this? Is there a way to have a program execute what it returns? Which for me is kind of the purpose of a user defined key.

I learned that ALL of my simple yet very useful programs, that have worked for decades with the X and Y values on the stack are appearing to be incompatible on the HP Prime? Why would HP Prime programs not have access to the stack? I am shaking me head???

I have tried to make a user function that works using the level 1: value on the stack, with no success.

I have not studied all of the functionality but for HMS+ and HMS- to be missing is again perplexing and maddening.

My Prime is updated to the 5/5/2021 firmware.

Is there a list of what new was provided in each firmware release?

The HP site seems to not be selling the HP Prime any longer, does anyone know what the 2021 and future is in terms of improving the HP Prime going forward?

Any insights would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you all for all you have done!!! This is the go-to for HP calcs.

Best regards,
