HP 50g - List error:Bad Argument Type

[jokelly]

I am a new user of a used 50g.

If I enter a list in the command line, I have no problem, and the OBJ> command correctly decomposes the list.

However, in RPN mode if I have 3 items in registers 2,3, and 4, and the number 3 (list size) in register 1, using the List> command gives the error "List error:Bad Argument Type".

In short, the List> command never works, and always gives the same error.

(I am trying to do the exercise on page 7-11 of the users manual).

Is there a bad flag somewhere, or some other solution?

Regards,

Jeremy

UPDATE

I have tried using the List> command in the 50g emulator included in EMU48 with the same result...

LIST→ (List Out) is the same as OBJ→ (Object Out) but just for lists. I suspect that you are looking for the →LIST (To List) command.

7 8 9 3 →LIST --> { 7 8 9 }

If you want to learn to program the 50g, I would recommend starting with the 48S and 48G manuals which are available here and on the Museum thumb drive. The clarity and quality of writing are much better than the 50g manuals. You will, of course, want to refer to the 50g Advanced User's Reference manual since the 50g has many more functions and commands than the earlier calculators.
