Basically, light gray = shift+key, and black = shift-hold+key, they are two different shift planes with different functions in many keys, hence the visual hint in the annunciators.

You were correct my HP50G's contrast was too high. Like the shift plane idea, pretty slick!

I haven't done anything yet on a serial driver, but USB is fully functional, the only down side is that the other side needs the newRPL Desktop application, you can't really connect it directly to other devices.
On the bright side, using newRPL Desktop you can copy/paste into other applications, and save objects to disk easily, so it's not much worse than using a terminal emulator with some obscure Kermit server.


Am interested in writing RPL programs for controlling RS232 devices. Mainly for a few amateur radio's.

I found my 3-channel FM-synthesizer code, as soon as I get some spare time I'll try to port it to newRPL so it will sound much better than the usual "beep".

That's great to hear! One of my main gripes with the HP50G (HP's OS) is the buggy alarm behavior.

I'm a big fan of RPL programming and look forward to learning NewRPL!
