Well, I stand corrected. I do think the OP was wanting a "click a button sequence and the display changes to display all digits" type of thing - at least that is how I interpreted it.

Anyway, you are right about the VIEW thing. It would toggle between a 2d display, and a text display which would also show more digits.

Currently, the show button on prime is really only useful when you have larger things. You get it in a window and can scroll around to see off screen items. Since the display is so big/detailed compared with older units I agree it isn't normally all that useful.

However, your comments made me think a bit more about some nice things that could be done in there (toggle some different display options, text/2d, different base representations, etc)...
