Can you tell me how or point me in the right direction for an explaination of how to do this? I tried to enter the above and assign it to a variable but that didn't work.

When I enter the above program into the 50g, what do I do next?

At the end, the portion that reads: 'VIEW' STO
is storing the program shown just before into a new variable/command named 'VIEW'.

When you type the program in, recall that you should just keep typing when you reach the end of the line shown, the 50g editor does not need you to type in the program on multiple lines as show.

Also, there are 3 special characters which all begin with "" (see the Trigraphs here) in the listing; they are the opening and closing symbols for an RPL program at the beginning and end (these are entered via [RS] [+]), and the symbol for Not Equals in the second line (entered as [LS] [+/-]).

Once this is done, pressing the VAR key associated with 'VIEW" will run the VIEW program, which in turn should show you the full item.

Note: you must be careful to enter it exactly as shown - errors in the SYSEVAL and FLASHEVAL arguments will almost certainly lead to a crash.

Hi Bob,

Thank you for the help, I appreciate it!

I think I am still doing something wrong. I am currently working with the 50g emulator only because it's easier to input long strings/commands until I learn how to do this correctly.

Here is what I am doing:

1) HOME 256 ATTACH -> ENTER (I'm still not sure what that is for but it is in the instructions.

2) I copy the following to the stack ...
\<< QUOTE RCLF SWAP -73 SF DUPDUP TYPE 2 \=/ { #25ECEh SYSEVAL } IFT 33 R~SB 7 ALOG R~SB #9B003h FLASHEVAL
DROP SCROLL SWAP STOF \>>

3) Select 'VIEW' STO (I end up with a new variable named 'VIEW')

4) I put my polynomial solution on the stack ...
[-0.455089860562-1.09868411347*i,-0.455089860562+1.09868411347*i,0.455089860562-1.09868411347*i,0.455089860562+1.09868411347*i]

5) Select VAR -> VIEW (that I created earlier). I am seeing the contents of the actual program I named 'VIEW' rather than the solution to the polynomial.

I am very new to this but love learning. The 50g is an amazing calculator but is a bit overwhelming in the beginning.

Thanks,
Jim
