randMat is the command name. In xcas, there are many commands that have duplicate names, some names in french, etc. Early on, the decision was made not to have duplicates if possible since it increases documentation work considerably and can also be confusing for general users

Quote:second question : is it possible to put the new probability distributions functions together in the probability menu ?

UI design is a trade off between simplicity and complexity. Simply sticking every possible command in every possible place it might appear will not end up giving nice results. In this case, adding more items into the menu would effectively hide them away because they'd fall off the bottom of the choose screen. In addition, it impacts documentation with changes, more testing, etc. So even simple appearing things like "add it into the menu" can have large rippling effects and so must be taken seriously with thought.

Help->Tree->about hp prime submenu->Thanks.

Quote:Fourth Q : I know I'm repeating myself but , do you plan to release a more powerful version or at least a device with an expandable memory.

This would could as a future looking statement and so anyone who actually knows anything would not be allowed to say one way or another.


As Bernard said, he is the author of the CAS only and doesn't make UI or documentation decisions.
