Any 42S means to keep a Global Label hidden from XEQ and other menus?

So a period should do the trick.

As far as HP-41 compatibility is concerned, yes, but those three characters are not forbidden in label names on the HP-42S.

Whether or not they make good magic characters for hiding labels in Free42 depends on whether they are actually used as initial characters in label names in existing HP-42S programs. I know I've seen periods used as first characters, so those could only be used as the magic character if label hiding is an option that can be turned off. Comma or colon might be OK. I'm going to have to take a look at my code collection to see which characters might qualify...
