I've been trying to understand the Solve function, to be honest the documentation on the WP 34S is really poor, so I've been reading the Hp 15c manual which apparently is quite similar to the way things are done in the WP 34S.

We're on the same boat, my dear Joe. The 34s is no piece of cake! If you want to fully embrace the genuine RPN world and get drunk with nostalgia capturing the old fashion way of calculating things with limited resources, the 34s will throw you right into the middle of the RPN lion's den. The 35s is a different league (a lot like the 50g in many areas), I myself was considering buying one as my trusty 50g is now overkill for the things I have been doing lately, but I find the 34s a lot more fun.

I agree with you about the manual. The 15c's clearly easier and packed with examples.
