Robert,
I’m glad you took the time to produce this helpful recipe. Thank you. I think it fulfils Tony Oz’s hope that “someone will compile all those nice tips and tricks about using pocket calculators for AN purposes” expressed here.
It might be of interest to try the same thing in Reverse Polish for use with HP calculators. There are some apps such as go41c and Free42 that do a very nice job of emulating some of HP’s high end calculators,
Regards,
Robin Stuart
