(41CX, DM41X): Assign User Keys Through a Program
Introduction - Template

Give the user a choice to clear or load the user keys:

LBL ^T (main name of the program)
^T 0 CLR 1 LOAD
PROMPT
STO 00
GTO IND 00

Fortunately we can use indirect addressing with the GTO command.

This section clears all the keys. I put a DONE message to tell the user that the process is done.

LBL 00
CLRKEYS
^T DONE
AVIEW
RTN

This section loads the commands and programs to user keys. Detailed programs will follow.

LBL 01
^T (program or command name)
(key code)
PASN
...
RTN

Now for the programs and calculations created:

LBL ^T (program or command name)
(contents)
RTN
...

END

Add an END command after the last RTN.


The Program UFX

The program UFX presents the user with two options: enter 0 to clear all the user keys. Entering 1 loads the following functions:

SSPH: Surface area of a sphere. Assigned to the user key [ Σ+ ], key code 11.
Surface area of a sphere = 4 * π * x^2

VSPH: Volume of a sphere. Assigned to the user key [ x<>y ], key code 21.
Volume of a sphere = 4/3 * π * x^3

STOR: Surface area of a torus. Assigned to the user key [ 1/x ], key code 12.
Surface area of a torus = 4 * π * y * x
y = larger radius, x = smaller radius

VTOR: Volume of a torus. Assigned to the user key [ R↓ ], key code 22.
Volume of a torus = 2 * π^2 * y * x^2
y = larger radius, x = smaller radius

Code:

RE: (41CX, DM41X): Assign User Keys Through a Program
It looks like you're not using Reg 00 again; so instead of STO 00, GTO IND 00, can you just do GTO IND X? (Press the decimal point before X to specify that you're not doing a numbered register.)

Instead of AVIEW, RTN, how about just PROMPT?
