32SII Program Question Message #1 Posted by Charles Perry on 19 May 2004, 12:19 p.m. This is probably a dumb question but I am just starting to take an interest in programming my 32sII (and 33S) calcs. Up to now, I have only written any programs for the 28 and 48 series. I found a program for the 32SII online with the following section: M15 +/- M16 29.5361111 M17 \:- M18 FP M19 SF 10 M20 ENTER What is M17????? I cannot figure out what that represents. Thanks (sorry if this is a really dumb question).

Re: 32SII Program Question Message #2 Posted by Bram on 19 May 2004, 1:00 p.m., in response to message #1 by Charles Perry Just a shot in the dark: it looks like the author has tried to "draw" the divide-symbol. Perhaps the backslash was meant to "print" the colon and the hyphen on the same place. Not every function makes sense on the line in question, but division does in my opinion.

Re: 32SII Program Question Message #3 Posted by Mark Hardman on 19 May 2004, 2:55 p.m., in response to message #2 by Bram Actually the author is using a standard escape sequence for the division symbol. I believe a canonical list of these \ sequences can be found in Craig Finseth's HPDATABase at http://www.finseth.com/hpdata/chars.html. Mark Hardman
