Simple? programming question [WP34S] Message #1 Posted by Shawn Gibson on 15 Mar 2013, 10:40 a.m. Greetings, I am trying to make the A,B,C & D hotkey feature of the WP34S work as unit conversion keys. I would like to have a value in the X register, then Hit the (A) key and have a custom conversion program ( MM to IN ) and/or hit the (B) key and have my IN to MM conversion run. Can I do this, or is not really the way the hotkey is supposed to work? Thanks in advance for your reply(s).

Re: Simple? programming question [WP34S] Message #4 Posted by Didier Lachieze on 15 Mar 2013, 11:56 a.m., in response to message #3 by Shawn Gibson Hotkeys are local labels (as in the HP-41C), so the ones separated from the current program counter position by an END are out of reach. See the “Labels” section under “PROGRAMMING YOUR WP 34S” in the manual.
