Key in DM42 - peacecalc - 05-23-2020 10:14 AM

Hallo folks,

as a lucky guy, who owe a dm42, I've a question,
how can I key in the instruction f. e. : STO IND "FOO". My focus is on STO IND. In the original handbook for the hp 42s I found the command INDEX, which relies on matrices.

I hope that somebody can help me.

Sincereley peacecalc.

The IND in STO IND "FOO" stands for "indirect," as in, the contents of the X register are not stored in FOO but in whatever location FOO points to. It is unrelated to INDEX.

To enter that command, press [.] after [STO]. That pops up a menu where you can select IND and ST L/X/Y/Z/T (which options are available exactly varies depending which command you are entering).

STO . [Upper left key]

IND stands for INDirect, not INDex.

Hello friends,

Sorry for that bad style, I'm obviously not able to use my phone in the right way and made a lot of mistakes...

"Thank you very much for your helpful anwers and comments. Now i can see clearly now....

I normally try to solve such problems by the help of manuals. But I didn't found the the word IND in the list of keywords.
But I can go in with programming."

Thank you all for your polite silence for not stultifying me.

Sincerely peacecalc
