Unit conversions inside programs on 50g Message #1 Posted by Chris Smith on 22 Feb 2013, 6:06 p.m. Decided to delve accidentally into units inside a program on the 50g. After dredging the abysmal manual, I can't work out how to add a unit to top of stack value inside a program. I can do it not via a program by using the units menu, but am stumped as to how to represent it. My stack looks like this to start with: 2: 45.5 1: 125 What I want to achieve is the following on the stack: 2: 45.5 1: 125_gal Also does someone fancy writing HP a proper manual :-) Any help appreciated!

I was looking for a much more complicated solution. I use type coercion regularly, but never thought of unit coercion!
