HP 50g text box menus for functions Message #1 Posted by Stephane on 25 Mar 2008, 5:27 p.m. I recently purchased a Hp 50g, great calculator and great screen. However i find it very painful to program vs my old hp48 gx because of the function access. is there a way to cancel the text box display of functions on hp 50g and get the standard hp48 look with the functions appearing in the variables ? For instance for an "If then" program on the 50 g , you have to press Prg, Branch and select if and again Prg Branch and select then... 6 key strokes for 6 letters... Let me know, Thanks !

The menus are more effort to navigate usually. - Pauli
