Yes, I read this section of the manual, but...

...I don't see any reason for this either. The idea behind a PSE statement is: display X for a moment, then continue. This is not what PSE does on the 34s. Of course PSE can also be used to delay program execution for a moment, e.g. while a message is displayed, but this can be done by combining it with the VIEW... commands. That's exactly how it is done on the 41 or 42. Which I thought were a kind of standard for the way the 34s was supposed to work.

In other words: the way PSE is implemented on the 34s feels ..."wrong" to me. It's simply not how PSE works on HP calculators.
