Reduce a 49g+ to 4 stack?
Message #1 Posted by Eric Lundgren on 12 Mar 2005, 6:12 p.m.

If the stack could be reduced (by a program or other?) to only four elements (ie 32sii xyzt), I suspect that the missed entry problem would be worked around..

Has anyone an idea to either limit the stack, or even create a font almost double the standard (8)? I just get too many errors as it is.

Also, does anyone else experience this: In RPN mode, I enter:

number, left shift, square

and get this on the display:

number { sq() }

Its very frustrating, but only occasionally happens. Its as if it goes into eq. edit mode, or algebraic?

Best regards, Eric

Hi,

have you tried posting to comp.sys.hp48 ,
*the* newsgroup for the HP-48 and its relatives,
even if they're so far away like the 49g+ ;-)

I think the 49g+ is somewhat too young for a museum...

Apart from that, I doubt that the missed key problem
will go away by reducing the stack levels shown,
because it's only like trying to cure a symtom,
not the cause of the illness.

And for your sq example:
What do you expect from a calc that misses key strokes...

It would be possible to make a reduced stack hp49g+ but this is a bit of work. For the moment, I just checked and: [1][2][LS][x2] gives me 144
