Walter; Quote has it's place but it's confusing if one is referring to two or more posts (I'll have to experiment with "insert quoted text") and not needed if one is hoping to be just following the last post. What we need is forum software with GOTO, GETSUB, RTN, and mainly PSE. "TAN" would be a good LBL to identify discussions like this one.

I just realized that most things in life would be better if they ran like a well written HP 41 program.

What? No square key? Seriously?
No, ENTER x is not an option since one stack level is lost.

This missing function could be placed on the shifted sqrt key. The required additional key position can be gained easily: simply replace the .d and a b/c functions with a single FDISP command that toggles between decimal and fraction mode. Works nicely on other calculators, for instance on the 35s.

BTW, the shift key should remain unlabelled - just plain yellow. Or HP-41 style, if you prefer. ;-)
