I shall have to compare runs on my HW Prime and the Emulator to pin down what's different.

Hmm! Are you sure your emulator is firmware 11226 date: 2016-12-08? The program I posted runs fine with this firmware. Actually I used the emulator to find the error.

Debugging of course is cumbersome at times.

Here is how I found the glitch

1. load program into the emulator
2. copy the source code to Notepad++
3. push "check" in the emulator
4. see "error in line xxx"
5. look in Notepad++, what's going on at that line number
6. analyse what may be wrong
7. type "Union" into the Home screen and push "help"
8. find it is a built in function
9. do the necessary corrections
10. start over with the next error "DoSolve"
    

I know that Notepad++ is not available for Mac. But all you need is an editor that handles the various text codes (e.g. UTF-8) automatically and provides line numbers. You'll find something suitable when searching the web with "Notepad++ Mac"

Hope this helps, Günter
