As a note for anyone wanting a quick-start guide on some of the 42 functions, I did a series of videos a while back:

Now, I do have a question: I was trying testing out entering a program (love the extra screen real-estate and the scrolling) and wasn't able to figure out how to use the alphabet next to all the keys for entering say, labels and such. Do you have to set a flag for that? I didn't see it in the onboard quick-start guide or the online one.

From another forum, verbatim, by grsbanks:

Quote:When in alpha mode, press [SHIFT] then [UP] or [DOWN]. You will see an annunciator at the top of the screen cycle through:

[ ]
[a]
[A]

When "[ ]" is visible, original HP-42S input is active.

When "[a]" (or "[A]") is visible, you get the lower (or upper) case letters directly on the keypad.
