Hmmm.... maybe in the far, far future there could be also a DATA END section which could simulate the functionality of data cards. ;-) Since numeric values in a program require one step per digit, sign and decimal point, this would be a great improvement for any program that uses numeric constants.

Yes, I noticed this when I tried to insert an x<>0? instruction. Eventually I found out that the "?" is omitted in the test commands (why?) and that x!=0 was correct here. Since at the moment there is no overview of the valid mnemonics one could write a program that contains all commands, save it and see what's in the text file. This way you can find out what to enter for x-bar, Sigma+ or the inverse trig functions. ;-)

BTW, at the moment CL REGS shows up as "CL" instead of "CLRG" or something like that.
