48g - is there a CAT command? Message #1 Posted by Liord on 18 Oct 2011, 9:44 p.m. The title sums it: Does the 48g/gx has an equivalent to CAT (catalog?) key/command like the 49/50 has?. If not, is there another way to browse through the whole list of commands? TIA, ~Liord

As there is not, a great way to browse through the whole list of commands is to read the "HP Programmer's Reference Manual". Cheers.

Message #6 Posted by Chris Randle (UK) on 20 Oct 2011, 10:29 a.m., in response to message #1 by Liord On my 48SX, you can use 2050 MENU to get the full command set as multiple pages of menu items. It's not particularly useful because it's not in alpha order, and you can't jump to particular entries, unless you count using a page number after the menu number, e.g. 2050.06 MENU takes you to page 6 of the full listing which begins with DDAYS. I don't have a G/GX, but reading the HP50g AUR and using an emulator, it looks like menu number 2219 will give you the additional 48G commands.

Message #7 Posted by Liord on 20 Oct 2011, 8:54 p.m., in response to message #6 by Chris Randle (UK) I hope my response is in the correct place, anyways - Thanks guys for all the enlightening info!. (Now I begin to realize how little I know about this HP device of wonders...) P.S. the- 2219 MENU (and 2050) work!, very Cool 'trick'. thanks. P.P.S. Someday, I fully intend to read the "HP Programmer's Reference Manual", Alas, evil ninjas have stolen this ancient tome of knowledge from me. So in the meantime I will seek wisdom in this wise (and friendly) forum. :) Lior
