Why FC?C, but no FS?S flag test?

Because all flags are reset at rest, and therefore have to be reset again after a test. A flag set indicates a certain condition, both with a system flag and a user flag, and a reset flag indicates the absence of that condition. With user flags, you determine the function for a flag, usually in programming. Therefore, there is no point in leaving a flag set if your program ends. Exceptions to this are system flags that you have already set while setting up your calculator. Therefore no FS?S instruction is present.

Great logic! Thank you!
