HP48GX, Commas Message #1 Posted by John Kercheval on 11 Feb 2006, 8:23 a.m. Hello: Can somebody tell me how to adjust the HP48 so that it automatically adds commas when I type in numbers >1,000? Thanks! John K.

A soon as you set FIX mode, the thousands are seperated by "," or "." depending on the definition of the decimal point. This is at least true for my 48S. The 28S does not display thousands seperators. Marcus
