Recall Argument capability Message #1 Posted by Gordon on 15 May 2005, 2:34 p.m. As I trace the evolution of the LAST X capability introduced in the Classic series (65?), I can see how it slowly evolved to become the RECALL ARGUMENTS in the 48GX. It had become very useful for those functions which require multiple input variables on the stack. However, when I studied the HP 49G+, I was unable to find such a function. There is an UNDO, but it also erases the previous results. Am I missing something here?

Re: Recall Argument capability Message #2 Posted by James M. Prange (Michigan) on 15 May 2005, 7:16 p.m., in response to message #1 by Gordon On the 28 series, the command is LAST, and on the 48 and 49 series, the command is LASTARG, although LAST still compiles to LASTARG. On the 49 series, LASTARG can be invoked by LeftShift ANS (over the ENTER key). UNDO is different; it retrieves the last stack (assuming that last stack saves are enabled). Also, UNDO isn't a UserRPL command; that is, although the operation can be invoked from the keyboard, UNDO is not a programmable command. Note that the last command line, last arguments, and last stack saves can be toggled from menu 69. You can get to this menu by holding down LeftShift and pressing CUSTOM (over the H key), and then pressing the MISC menu key. Regards, James

Re: Recall Argument capability Message #3 Posted by Gordon on 16 May 2005, 7:11 p.m., in response to message #2 by James M. Prange (Michigan) Hi James, Wow, thank you so much for the answer, it works exactly as I had hoped. Without your kind assistance, I would have never found it. As the user's guide did not make any mention of the fact that "LASTARG" command is mapped to the ANS key in RPN mode Thanks again.
