Programming Help
Message #1 Posted by Elfo on 13 Sept 2006, 9:55 a.m.

Hello, I recently purchased a HP 50g for school. I'm attempting to learn a bit of programming for the sucker, to automate some of the more mundane tasks I need to perform repetitiosly. However, I am interested in "laddering" options with the soft keys. I can set things up for the Custom soft keys, but what I would like to do is something so that when I select the first softkey, it gives me new softkeys to choose from. Does anyone have any recommendations where I can look for general RPL programming help, and any suggestions for how to accomplish this specific task?

Try looking up the command TMENU. You can assign to a key the program:

<< { your submenu here } TMENU >>

so that when you press the key, the program above temporarily changes the menu to what you want.

HI;

I created a menu-driven, HP12C-based interface for the HP48/49/50 series of the Discounted Cash Flow that uses such feature. IŽll post the CST line so you can see if it fits your needs. Just gimme a couple of hours, though... Meantime, maybe someone els posts a bit more.

Cheers.

This ought to provide a good start, as well as other resources found at hpcalc.org.
