Hello Dave,
After clearing flags 85 & 92 your example program worked exactly as
described.
Thank you E6 for you help and response.

I will keep practicing as well as getting more referance material.
Hopefully some day I will understand why you up-to-date HP'ers say RPL
rather than RPN. Even the skimpy documentation uses RPL. Also I hope to
eventually learn the purpose of flags 85 & 92.

Thanks again,
Steve Huntsman
