Guys,
Let's admit. HP does not have enough material to support RPL. RPL is not even known by non-HP users at all.
HP is not doing nothing -'not enough' but nothing- to market it and I'm think they are not sure to sustain thier calculator business.
Hence, there is not a wide user profile hence not enough books -I
mean commercial books- that one can easily find for any programming language.
So what we are recommending to new comers who are keen to learn / develop RPL [skills] are at least decade-old materials. In fact, they are like the Xerox-copies of a course that we had taken in the university just as we used to recommend to our friends to make their life easier. Don't you see we have to recommend a HP-49 manual to a HP-50 'buyer', user.
I believe the market should should be flooded with books for such a powerful feature like RPL. Search for it and see how many books you can find and how old is the newest
one.
Tell me if I'a wrong. And if I'm wrong please tell me when the new model of HP, the one that was broadly discussed late 2010, early 2011 before we have given up on HP, will be out?
Happy new year to all!!!!
Fatih

Thanks for the links, I will have a look at the AUR for the 49 to find out if it helps.
