thanks very much, Carsen,

If I had to use it frequently, I would create the program and keep it stored in my STATISTICS directory. On the other hand, if I didn't plan to use it frequently, then I would not use the program and stick to the OBJ-> and HIST method.

That makes good sense.

Quote:ORDER is used so that I can simply press VAR F1 ENTER VAR F2 ENTER VAR F3 ENTER VAR F4 ENTER (i.e. I don't have to hesitate and search for the variables in the VAR menu). However, David taught me the risks of ORDER in his post and that was something I was unaware of. So organization of the current directory is necessary.

Right. I read (in the HLP49 help file) a warning that items (in the current dir) not specified in the list are deleted by ORDER. But that contradicts the AUR, which says that they will placed after the listed vars. I'll test this later, but presumably the HLP49 doc is in error.

Quote:This reminds me of post #10 by Tim Wessman on this thread. You should read what he says about the 48 series because it also applies to the 50 series and I believe his point of view is correct.

I'd read that thread before, but it's good to be reminded; yes, sounds right.


thanks again
