Some assorted HP67/97 questions

[PANAMATIK]

Thanks for your remarks,

It looks like it interprets the DATA section as additional program steps so that it e.g. reports a syntax error in "line 235" which contains a 10-digit number. #-)

Should be easy to fix. Perhaps I didn't test enough DATA sections.

No problem for the next version.

Needs some research.

Space bar will be included.

Enter a negative number and the minus sign almost touches the left display border, while even a value that uses all 15 display positions has plenty of room to the left. I think it should be shifted by about half a character to the right.

I had difficulties with the new font and different window sizes. Sometimes there was room sometimes not. But I will try to improve the display.

I remember, that I had the same problem with the first version of the HP-67E and fixed it. There will be hope to fix it in the PC version too.

Maybe
