• I'm sure the 41cx's text editor could be vastly improved;
• string manipulation and HPIL I/O might be expanded (although I realize the intensive math users vastly outnumber those of us who have used the 41 in I/O intensive applications like I have in lab instrumentation);
• it would be nice to have a module with more flash, or that accommodates microSD cards or something like that;
• and perhaps an SPI or I²C port and the drivers could be put in a module.

(I realize the last two involve hardware, not just software.)

The 41CL board contains an SPI port; it just hasn't ever been wired up to anything. I had hoped to get a microSD connected at some point, but dealing with the FAT is probably beyond my programming capabilities. The PUT and GET functions in YFNX and the memory pointer functions in YFNF were an attempt to provide some low-level support for moving things around, but that's as far as I ever got.
