H:=HDigits;
HDigits:=4;
HFormat:=F; //restore the original mode when the program ends

Thanks but no matter what I set HDigits to I get the number of decimal places I saved in the Settings screen.
Changing HDigits doesn't change the decimal places for me.

I see the change immediately when I type (in either Home or CAS)

HFormat:=1; // display automatically shows fixed format (any pre-existing numbers on the screen changes);
HDigits:=4; // only four digits displayed after fraction mark

Did you make sure that you changed HFormat to 1 (Fixed mode)? Leaving it as 0 won't do anything. HDigits only applies when HFormat specifies a mode that uses fixed digits.
