hp 50g Programming Message #1 Posted by David Sgroi on 16 Jan 2013, 12:35 p.m. Is there a way to set the 50g so when you program the program lines stay uniform instead of just becoming one big paragraph . Maybe there an editor out there that can be used ?

Re: hp 50g Programming Message #2 Posted by peacecalc on 16 Jan 2013, 2:39 p.m., in response to message #1 by David Sgroi Hello David, the only possibility I know is: to write the program in a string and store it as a string, then the formatting stays without changes. But before running you have to convert the string with STR-> and use EVAL. Sincerely peacecalc Edited: 16 Jan 2013, 2:41 p.m.

Don't forget to add line breaks (right shift, decimal point button) - I found them tp help... if not perfectly. Hope this helps, Eddie Edited: 16 Jan 2013, 6:07 p.m.

Re: hp 50g Programming Message #4 Posted by Chris Smith on 16 Jan 2013, 6:10 p.m., in response to message #1 by David Sgroi I tend to compose my programs from lots of small ones. It doesn't get out of hand then and no complicated editing scenarios are required. As for management, I keep each program to less than a screen if possible.

Re: hp 50g Programming Message #5 Posted by David Hayden on 17 Jan 2013, 3:58 p.m., in response to message #1 by David Sgroi If it's long enough to worry about formatting, then I compose the program on my PC and upload it to the calculator. Not only do you get to preserve formatting that way but also comments. For UserRPL I use HP User Edit. Note that the program is normally in Spanish but you can get English language files. For SystemRPL I use Debug4x. I think it can do UserRPL also but I just haven't taken the time to figure it out. Dave
