Spreadsheet bug in RPN mode

[John Colvin]

I don't know whether this has been reported before, but the Spreadsheet App doesn't want to accept formulas in RPN mode. When I attempt to insert something like
=A*0.14 into a cell, I get the syntax error message. Formula insertion works fine in
textbook mode. I had just assumed that all of the issues with the Spreadsheet App in RPN mode had been resolved. I have the latest firmware (7820).

As with any algebraic expression, in RPN mode it must be surrounded by single quotes.

Tried that. I still get the syntax error message.

I seldom use the Spreadsheet App and I didn't see any mention of this subtle elimination of the = symbol in front of the cell name in the User Manual. I guess the
authors assumed that everyone would be using this App in textbook mode.
