Hello Richard
Basic is the language used to program the HP 50 when in the algebraic
mode. Ther seems to be little information on this.
One place you might look at is www.hpcalc.org. When on the site search
for and download casmath.zip. Unzip the file and read usflan.pdf. It
gives example showing the difference between basic in algebraic mode
and user rpl in rpn mode. Hpe this helps. Herman Schoob
