Redefining Keys: Multiple Conundrua

[rprosperi]

After much (!) testing there is good news and bad news about the technique I posted above.

The Good News: It does happen, so I'm not crazy.

The Bad News: It only happens sometimes, most likely due to a bug, since I agree it isn't intuitive it should work that way.

Starting with the CSC() argument on the stack (RPN mode per the original prblm) and this code:

Code:

KEY K_Tan()
BEGIN
//RETURN "CSC(1)";
RETURN(30);
END;

in a program in the catalog (note 3rd line is initially commented out).

6-7 out of 10 times, if you do this:

Delete the slash characters in line 3 to remove comment and restore the command
Press ESC to exit/compile the file
Press HOME
Press TAN to the invoke new assignment.

Prime will insert the CSC(1) and execute the enter returning the CSC of the original argument to the stack.

VERY USEFUL for creating key assignments, but unfortuntely, it's only a bug.

Tim/Cyrille - it would be great if this bug could become a feature
