had some spare time tonight at work so i spent it consolidating all the good info that dave supplied and used the tip by giancarlo.
so, after one complete set of batteries and the great info on the list i have:
buttons on my custom menu representing:
sdfiler (a filer for the sd card)
backup (backs up ports to sd card)
bios (shows sys info and mem use and allows adding to startup file)
foto (depth of field &c)
trig (draws and calculates triangles)
utool (for units manipulation)
in additiion, i have 'filer6' assigned to the (ls+files) function and 'formos' assigned to the (rsh+eqw) function.
tks to the tip by giancarlo i have a startup file that will return the 'usr' state after a warmstart.
this is the most progress i've made with this calculator in all the time i owned it. i also had a couple of 38/39 models and a couple of 48/49 models and i never got very far with them either. didn't help that the quality of some were abysmal.
ok, here's my tip to share:
put the 'MENU' command in the custom menu (CST variable). this will allow you to re-write the CST variable from inside itself so to speak just by putting the new list representing the CST variable on the stack, then calling up your (old) CST and overwriting it using the MENU button. this tickles me every time i think about it--i'm easily amused! it's akin to the abstract thinking necessary to use indirect memory where you use a memory location as an indice to another. or like running windows in a window on my mac where an entire operating system environment is just one of a million other files on the host.
