Invoking f STO 1 when GPS time is shown uses register 1 for time.
Of course you can use register 0 as indirect register.

If I understand this correctly – and after reading the ACT manual p. 60/61 – Geoff's original program assumes that the "dynamic data storage" feature has been enabled before by an initial f STO 0 so that the current time is stored in R 0 and updated every second. Any manual STO 0 during a regular calculation will stop the permanent update of this register. So there is no way of using any of the eight possible registers both for continuously updated GPS data and temporary use in regular calculations. If R 0 is required as the 29C's index register it cannot be used for GPS data without stopping the continuous data update.

Is there a chance that a later 29C GPS version may use more than just R 0 ... R 7?
