Task: Try to store the value 10 into a variable named 'Test2'. RPN entry is enabled in Home Settings.
Keystrokes: 10[Enter][()][Alpha][Alpha][Shift][Alpha][Shift]Test[Alpha]2[Shift][EEX]
Result: Syntax error. There are other variables on the calculator with non-leading digits in their names. Surely this is not intended behavior. Am I missing something simple?
I should add that if I try to store to a variable named 'Test', the process succeeds, so I know it's the trailing '2' that causes the problem. However, cruft (the number stored) is left on the stack, so even this is not trouble free.
