While that doesn't quite do what I want, I found something else that does - I was misunderstanding something about how the format works. Sorry about that.

I do still have one request regarding menus - that the 'help' slot accept a variable as well as a string. It would just display the contents of the variable, just as if you'd long-pressed on the Vars button.

Quote:With a command that tells you which item is visible in the menu from a program, you could write code that "moves" with the menu using ASNKEY.

Is such a command in the offing?

EDIT: In the old OT49 library on the 50g, there was a function LMN that would retrieve the items in any menu on the calculator, in order. RCLMENU LMN would return a list. Handy!

Speaking of libraries, you've already mentioned some possibilities, but will it be feasible for a newRPL user to create them on the calculator?
