RE: history of the 4-level stack
Thanks for bringing this info to our attention.

Fullheartedly concur with that. But now the next sentence following:

Quote:However with more than 10 numeric memory cells then RPN would have won because it saves a keystroke. "STO 11" would have to be "STO 11 Enter" vs. "11 STO".

Why? If a calc features up to 100 registers (00 ... 99) then "STO 11" doesn't require a trailing ENTER. What did I miss?
