X-41 on Mac Book
Message #1 Posted by Jean-Michel on 18 Nov 2012, 1:17 p.m.

Hello all,

i have installed the HP-41C emulator "X-41" on my Mac Book, but can't manage to use it via the keyboard (of the Mac ;-). Clicking on the keys with the trackpad or even the mouse is that much boring that I finally don't use it.
Help much appreciated!
Kind regards.

Hello!

Just downloaded the current version (1.0): On my PowerBook running Mac OS 10.5.8 it accepts input from the number keys (also from the shifted number keys using Num.lock).

Regards max

Hello Maximilian,

Danke sehr für deine Antwort.
My laptop is a Mac Book with Mac OS X 10.7.2 (11C74). I would be glad to know wether I am doing something wrong or did not instal the software properly or wether I have no chance to play with X-41, because my laptop is not convenient, which I can't believe.


Kind regards.

Bonjour Jean-Michel,

Français ...
J'ai le même problème sur mon MacBook Pro / OSX 10.7.5.
J'utilise le clavier USB étendu d'Apple.

I have the same problem on my MBP running OSX 10.7.5.
I am using the Apple extended USB keyboard.

Bonjour Sylvain

Thank you very much for sharing your (bad) experience. I have no plan to buy an extended keyboard, so I think I will simply remove this software from my laptop, which I regret much. I wonder what may cause this issue... and why it is not fixed.

Cordialement,

Jean-Michel.

Bonjour Jean-Michel,

For my calculation on OS/X, I use both the widget version and the standard version of the Free42 simulator.

Cordialement,

Sylvain
