HP48 - PROGRAMMING... Message #1 Posted by Tal on 6 Sept 2000, 5:46 a.m. Hi, HP48 users! I wonder if is it possible to change the name of one of the soft key from the temporary menu (TMENU) labels, while the program is running? For example, To change from start to stop, or to add a small square sign beside the name that mean that the soft key was changed or activated. Best regards, Tal email: td@chem.ch.huji.ac.il

Sure can! Message #2 Posted by Joe Panico on 6 Sept 2000, 10:54 a.m., in response to message #1 by Tal Tal, Still exploring the 48 I see. Changing the menu is easy if you use some SystemRPL commands. I'll list a simple program and the way to change. { "START" "GO" "NOW" "" "" "EXIT" } the menu -> menu make a local var menu TMENU show menu menu 1 {"STOP"} REPL change menu TMENU #3A1FCh SYSEVAL display current menu That's it! You still follow all the commands that display the menu. Generally, the 48 displays a menu when the system is ready for keyboard input (HALT or WAIT). Using the SYSEVAL (for DispMenu.1) accomplishes the same things without needing the HALT or WAIT. Tip! Use this feature to blank the menu during segments of programs, it looks better. Joe
