Some assorted HP67/97 questions

Almost. ;-) There seem to be problems with small numbers, in my case 0.001 and 0.015. They display fine in FIX DSP 4, but in DSP 2 the 0.001 displays as "10.00", and so does the 0.015 in DSP 1 ("10.0"). This seems to happen as soon as the display would normally switch to SCI. So the DATA section seems to import some kind of ..."unnormalized" value. The current workround is scientific notation, i.e. with 1e-3 and 1.5e-2 in the DATA section everything works correctly.

Great! This is the first time I see this on a 67. :-)

It seems that the emulator also reacts on pressing Shift, Caps Lock, Ctrl and Alt. They all seem to do a [R/S]. Even some other keys, e.g. M restarted the program, while after this I was not able to interrupt it. R/S seems to be a very special case.

BTW, what does the real 67 do when SST reaches a GSB statement? Does one SST run the complete subroutine as a whole and stop at the next line following the call, or does it walk through the subroutine step by step, like most other HPs? The emulator seems to do it once this way and once the other.

The number display now has very slighty moved to the right, but using my hp67.bmp file the black digit background now does not completely reach the right border. This was perfect in the previous version. I'll see if I can adjust my image file.

Finally let's not forget: thank you again for your great work on this emulator and all the recent bugfixes.
