Does the HP-35S need a 'guide for dummies' how-to guide?

[Gerald H]

The particularities of the 35S I learned from the hefty paper manual delivered with early models of the calculator.

Around 1996 I acquired my first HP calculator, a 48GX, & learned by playing & from the generous handbook. Publications including numerous programmes were a godsend, titles like "One Minute Marvels" opened my eyes to the efficacy of RPPL.

Later I found a 42S with rich documentation & so ended up being an aficionado of the bracketless style of arithmetic & programming.
