Code:


",./:" SETLC

to yield Comma for decimal, dot for thousands, Slash for Fractions and : for Arg

Instead, I get "Invalid Locale string"

I'll experiment again as I must be doing something wrong.

Claudio, your newRPL project prompted me to purchase my first Hp-50g a couple of months ago and I've been using it with great pleasure, thanks for this !

Etienne.

This is a bug, thank you for reporting it. I'll investigate and fix.
PS: Fraction separator is the character that goes every 3 digits on the fractional part of a number, by default is a narrow space (try the various cases with On+Dot to see what I mean). Also, the argument separator is usually a comma, usually changes to a semicolon when the comma is the decimal dot or thousand separator, never seen a colon used for that, but why not...
