Re: Writing notes into HP49G+ Message #2 Posted by Eddie Shore on 16 June 2004, 3:34 p.m., in response to message #1 by Andrew So far the only way I know is to create a string variable with your text and store the text you write. While creating your notes, you can press TOOL access STYLE [TOOL] [NEXT] [NEXT] |Style| to highlight, bold, itlicize (sp?), or underline text. Use the [LS] [BEGIN], [LS] [END] to select your text. hpcalc.org may have text writing programs for the HP49G+. Good luck, Eddie

Just create a program and type away freely whatever you want. As long as you don't execute it, no one will ever know ! This works on ANY alpha-enabled programmable calculator...

Re: Writing notes into HP49G+ Message #4 Posted by ... on 17 June 2004, 4:01 a.m., in response to message #3 by GE (France) no. Most calculators tokenize the program as you write it, or after you press enter. The HP will most likely say 'syntax error' after pressing enter. Making a string is no harder then making a program. Type the "", and put your text in between the quotes. Press enter. Type the note name. Press STO. "I'm using this to cheat on a test because I am dishonest " CHEAT STO

Usually when I don't know, I refrain from objecting. However, the objection of tokenization is interesting. Please quote a precise model where this doesn't work ? Personally I can't.

Re: Writing notes into HP49G+ Message #6 Posted by . on 20 June 2004, 10:26 p.m., in response to message #5 by GE (France) <<Why won't this work?>> Basically, things like mismatched brackets or "'"'s, or accidently mentioning control commands (DO/IF etc) and so on. While for small notes you can probably avoid these problems easily, why would you bother? Its just as easy to use a string without possible problems.
