HP 20b Manual Message #1 Posted by hpnut on 13 June 2008, 2:32 p.m. Hi all, The HP 20B User Guide can be found here http://www.educalc.net/1593489.page I'm going to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia HP dealers tomorrow to get myself a HP 20B. do I get a prize for discovering the pdf manual? ;-)

Re: HP 20b Manual Message #2 Posted by Ken Shaw on 13 June 2008, 2:45 p.m., in response to message #1 by hpnut Possibly Educalc will reward you for directing traffic to their site :-). I continue to be mystified that European and Asian sites have supporting documentation available long before HP itself. Last year it was the 35S manual, seen only in French for months.

Re: HP 20b Manual Message #3 Posted by Gene Wright on 13 June 2008, 2:50 p.m., in response to message #1 by hpnut FYI... This is the PDF of the quick start guide that is included in the HP 20b packaging. I am hopeful that a larger, more expanded PDF manual will be available online sometime soon. And, no, I don't understand why the HP webpages don't have the 20b manual or learning modules yet. Or, why clicking on various HP calculator web page links ends up with not found messages.

Re: HP 20b Manual Message #4 Posted by Mark Storkamp on 13 June 2008, 4:08 p.m., in response to message #1 by hpnut I notice 2 interesting items in the manual Page 17 it mentions macros can record up to 120 keys Page 31 it is referred to as EURO

Re: HP 20b Manual Message #5 Posted by Gene Wright on 13 June 2008, 4:35 p.m., in response to message #4 by Mark Storkamp While it may say that in this download from educalc.net, it is incorrect. No macro recording capability. I can promise it would have made my review!

Re: HP 20b Manual Message #7 Posted by hpnut on 13 June 2008, 9:13 p.m., in response to message #6 by cyrille de Brébisson who is educalc? surely not the EduCalc of Santa Ana, California who regretably went bust in the 1990s? is the macro a hidden feature, not known even to Gene? ;-) the mystery continues.... p.s. going out now to buy my HP 20B, cheerio.

Re: HP 20b Manual Message #8 Posted by hpnut on 26 June 2008, 10:15 p.m., in response to message #6 by cyrille de Brébisson educalc has pulled out the user guide http://www.educalc.net/1593489.page so apparently this is not the official stuff I hope HP puts up PDF manual soon... I like to get a "feel" of the calculator before buying it.
