the HP-18C operation algebraic, rather than RPN.

The HP-18C has an [INPUT] key.
There's no ENTER command in UserRPL nor in SysRPL. But there's DUP.

OK. My fault, I should have looked better. Also the MoHPC says it all (although not in the overview on the home page): the HP-18C has an algebraic logic system and is no RPN-calculator at all.

So the HP-28C is the first one with Entry RPN.

Thanks for the hint,

Hans
