If that's the defining difference, then the HP Prime is an RPN machine, not an RPL machine, because Prime's RPN stack is 128 levels high, no more, regardless of amount of memory available. ;-)

Thanks for that information - I didn't know that before. I thought of Wickes' RPL. Seems my definition was too simple then. Would "RPN features a finite stack with top level repetition and roll" be better to differentiate between RPN and RPL?
