Hello!

I was trying to make some base conversions, and wasn't able to complete them because of this error! I want to say that this happens only on the virtual calculator, I'm using FW 8151, is it a bug?
Works fine here for me in either location. Anyone else?

In the HOME settings set integers to "Decimal" and type the integer without "d": SETBASE(#8,1) :-)

In the last few weeks I've been trying out several programs on the Prime and it seems like they kind of mess around with the Emulator's settings or something, I reset the Emulator and now its working fine. The reason I posted this threat, was because I was using the correct syntax for the SETBASE() command and it kept giving me an error, so I thought it was an OS bug, but I see its not! From now on!...when ever I see a weird behavior on the Prime, I will do just a simple reset and probably it will fix it.

Aries, thank you for the tip, saving a couple of keystrokes!

Thank you Tim and Aries for the feed back.
You're welcome, Spybot !
Best,

Aries ;-)
