New to my HP50G and the forum. Simple question. Is there a way to get
a comma as a thousands separator in the display so that long numbers
become easier to read?

234567890 becomes 234,567,890.

Thanks,
Carl

I've noticed that problem too but the separation only happens when you set the FIX(ed) mode to any decimal point.

Thanks. That helps. I hadn't even found that one yet. It would be
nice if it could be shown in 'std' mode also. I also like to get the
commas while I'm entering long numbers as it helps me get them
correct. Oh well.
