RE: Complex Lock mode for WP-34s
While there can be no doubt that command-line entry is far more consistent and predictable (and therefore easier to teach and learn), it's hard to shake 30+ year old habits, even if there is a 'better' system...

What I find most interesting about this is that classic-RPN users can in fact use it reliably with almost no thinking, despite it's (relative to command line entry) odd and inconsistent behavior.

I'd say making the proposed hybrid (with differing manual and program mode behavior) should not be adopted as the default behavior; interested users can download and explore it as it appears Jaco plans to make his build available. Should overwhelming approval and demand dictate so, this could always change, but I think classic-RPN is one of the core attractions of the 34S, so would not expect that.
