But also there aren't extra key assignments available on the 11C and 15C. That's why the 15C had to move all but two of the number comparisions into "g TEST <n>" sequences.

It's easy enough to write a subroutine to do it on the 11C and 15C. Swap two pairs of statistics registers (R3 with R5, R4 with R6), compute the y linear estimate, swap back. On the 15C this can be fairly conveniently done in the subroutine without disturbing the stack with a sequence of "x <>" instructions.

Just to clarify, I would be swapping Σx & Σy. Right?
