RE: New HP41 Emulator for OS X
Nice work!

Occasionally, pressing a key causes nothing to occur, even if the key press is indicated by having the button react visibly, and sometimes the key press causes an action even if the key does not react visibly. I think this is what you mean by "sometimes application needs some time to become active". This phenomenon is more easily observed if you choose "Tap to click" in the Mac's System Preferences > Trackpad.

Also, attempting to set the time (SETIME) crashes the app if you do not enter a time with four digits past the decimal point.

Example:

1.0200 XEQ alpha SETIME alpha <-- works OK
1.02 XEQ alpha SETIME alpha <-- crash

There may be similar problems attempting to set the date (SETDATE). I didn't encounter any but I didn't attempt all date formats.

I think these will be easy fixes for you.

I'm not sure what the Debug registers are meant to represent. Obviously it's intended for your own use but I could not find an obvious way of determining what the display stack registers contain, for instance.

Also: can you have the keys correspond to the Mac's keyboard input (in alpha mode)? The numeric, operation, and Enter keys work as expected but alpha characters don't seem to correspond to anything. I understand the "keyboard shortcuts" (nice) but while in alpha mode, can that be changed to correspond to alpha keys?

Very nice looking emulator. Beautiful. I love the display, even the colors are gorgeous.
