I suspect we'd never be able to run the tools on the metal though, we'd have to use a computer to do that. Perhaps the two utilities could be rpltngl and rplwv?

But the hp 50g has the power for such a project, source text as a string, defining meta sign for source code ... Input that string in "rpltngl" and we get a program for the calc, and if we input the string to "rplweave" we get the documentation for that program.

But yes, if the calculator could actually do a rplwv or rpltngl, that could open the door to calculator programs with included help, all from the one source file.

I wouldn't know, I've never been "professional". I'm actually a caregiver for my wife, but computers, calculators and (currently) flight simulation are my current excursions into keeping myself engaged.
