The reason is that Ladybug replaces the standard stack display and also fiddles with program lines (semi-merged steps). I doubt it will work, I am mostly curious how bad it becomes.

I loaded the LadyBug "0A" with just a little tweaking to the MOD file settings. It seems to work just fine in manual more but in program mode the semi-merged lines show as starburst, not quite as expected... or maybe is it?

For example, RRC 03 shows as a single line, but it's followed by another program line with just the starburst.

Another issue is that *somehow* the function MASKL is mapped to the "SETUP" function (SHIFT-USER), which creates an interesting situation: once the LadyBug is installed it CANNOT be removed via firmware, and one must use the hardware reset (the "paperclip" of death...)

I suspect this is a consequence of the keyboard layout differences with the original 41C... a very touchy subject...

I may be missing something though, as you know I'm not very familiar with the module since my setups always use the Library#4 - which is fully supported on the DM-41X, as well as all my other modules (SandMath, 16C Emulator, etc...)
