I feel the same way, but the big stack is an important step on the way to implementing the other advanced features on my to-do list.

I will definitely make NSTK and 4STK display that way if I add them to the MODES menu, but in CATALOG, there is no provision for that kind of behavior, that's really just a list of functions.

I'm even considering adding an annunciator for big stack mode, because it is such an important setting and because knowing which mode is in effect is so important because it breaks backward compatibility with a lot of programs. But at least you can tell at a glance just by looking how the X register is labeled!
