Real Calc vs Emulator - My Experience

[Albert Chan]

With modern hardware, most day-to-day calculations can be done in an instant.
But, working with emulators, we have less typing.

For Free42, we can cut/paste numbers/code, quickly, and less error-prone. (*)

In fact, my most used "calculator" is not even emulator, but my text editor.
Just select text, and press a key to calculate.

I use Notepad++, with plugin NppExec, and this is my "calculator".

Code:

// Calculate selected
NPP_CONSOLE ?
SET a ~ $(CURRENT_WORD)
SEL_SETTEXT $(CURRENT_WORD) = $(a)

(*) Can emu48 do cut/paste too ?
How do we enter expression or code into it ? Type it, character by character ?
When I do Ctrl-P to paste, all I get is error: "The emulator is busy"
