You can actually test this flag after the Shift key has been pressed during a PSE command. ;-)

Interesting. It's strange that they didn't keep some form of that around in the 42S. A lot of their financial calculators let you do Shift + "n" to store 12*X into n. I'm pretty sure that includes the 17BII, but there doesn't seem to be a way to implement that UX on a 42S.

Thanks for all the detective work, everyone.
