That's a clever idea, and IMHO is a great solution. Though feasibly confusing to a new user, anyone writing programs of that size, on either 15C or 16C, will certainly grasp the meaning and make using the editor for large programs clear. NICE!

But it doesn't solve the GTO. (GTO EEX on the 15C) that is still limited to 999, unless Eric finds a clever solution for that too.
Has the 16C the same kind of strange display as the 15C for step 1000 ?
For me, 999 steps are fine.
