HP-49g+ CASCMD command
Message #1 Posted by Antonio Maschio (Italy) on 30 Nov 2006, 6:19 a.m.

Hi,

According to the user's guide of the hp-49g+, english edition in pdf downloaded from HP site, at the paragraph 1-7, the CASCMD command of the TOOL menu is

Quote:
used to launch a command from the CAS by selecting from a list.
But when I try to launch a command by the CASCMD menu, what I obtain is a replication of the HELP command which, on the same guide page is a

facility describing the commands available.

Have I changed some flag that makes the CASCMD behave like HELP?
Or has the most recent ROM I uploaded (I think 2.09 version) changed what was the normal way as exposed into the user's guide?

Any help appreciated.

I just searched comp.sys.hp48 and this appears to be "normal" for the 49g+ and 50g though it is in conflict with the manuals for both. I am only able to access a list of CAS commands from EQW using [CMDS]. [CASCM] and [HELP] from the TOOL menu seem to do exactly the same thing. [ENTER]ing CASCMD directly also brings up the CAS help facility.

Though this does not seem right, I guess that's the way it is.

Ok, so this is normal.

Thanks, Ken.

PS

Highlighting CASCMD from /-> CAT changes the F1 label to [HELP]. Pressing [HELP] returns an error beep.
