I thought they were really well written. My case is similar. My first HP calculator was the 15C, followed by the 16C and then the 71B with Forth/Assembler and Math ROMs. I was also an admirer of LISP but my only experience with it was "toy" versions on a PC clone. Needless to say I was very impressed with the HP28 and I used mine until it wore out! Nowadays however I'm so used to the HP50 that I find the RPL of the 28 to be frustratingly limiting. To the OP, I would also suggest looking at the many programs posted on this site and on hpcalc.org. Having working programs as examples can be very helpful in learning a new language. John |
