Re: How to learn RPL programming Message #3 Posted by James M. Prange (Michigan) on 4 Nov 2006, 8:03 p.m., in response to message #1 by Hal Bitton
For "on-line" resources, start with the usenet group comp.sys.hp48. In case you don't use a newsreader, you can access it through http://groups.google.com/group/comp.sys.hp48. From the Google site, you can also browse or search the newsgroup posts all the way back to July, 1991. In general, if you search for an answer before asking a question, you'll seem smarter, especially in the case of frequently asked questions.
They aren't free, but this Museum's DVD/CD-ROM set includes some very helpful information for RPL. I particularly recommend Bill Wickes's Insights books. See http://www.hpmuseum.org/cd/cddesc.htm.
http://www.hpcalc.org/ is the source for programs for and information about the RPL models.
Also visit http://m.webring.com/hub?ring=hp48 for links to several useful sites.
The HP Knowledge Base should be useful, and so should Wolfgang's site.
I dasn't forget the information on HP's own site. Follow the links from this page.
Keep in mind that each new RPL model's language is mostly a superset of the previous RPL model's language. Basically, the progression is 28C, 28S, 48SX/S, 48G/GX/G+, and 49G/49g+/48gII/50g. Don't ignore information about other models; often it will still apply to your model.
Well, I suppose that those will give you enough reading material to last for a while.
Regards, James
