HP-41 ROM Module wishlist from PPC V9N4P35-36

[Ángel Martin]

Very nice wish-list, especially considering it pre-dates the CX.

Here's a few random comments on other entries:

1. Store/Recall Relative.- I like this one, and it's quite easy to implement. But still, wouldn't that be the same as STO IND / RCL IND on the s-Reg location? Thus: STOR = sREG?, X<>Y, STO IND Y; and: RCLR = sREG? , RCL IND X would do the job.

2. COMPILE - in the AMC_OS/X
3. View Program - See CSST in WARP et al.
4. Save/Get Keyboard - See SAVEKA / GETKA in AMC_OS/X
5. MCODE Version of LoadBytes - See LOADB and LOADB+ in the WARP module
6. Reverse CATs - a curious idea but IMHO it's superseded by the XEQ+ concept
7. POPX (again) - not quite the same but in the Equation Solver ROM I added a couple of file pointer functions that facilitate this.: REC+ and REC- move the record pointer by one up and down (and a third function ADVREC moves it by the number of bytes in X).. This: POPX = REC- , GETX
But if the goal of said POPX was to use it combined with GETX, wouldn't it be better to use a PUSHX that saves the X-value but doesn't move the file record pointer instead?

Ruminating in the background... ;-)
