When I recall the current flag settings for my calculator, I get a
series of numbers and letters. Can anyone tell me how these correspond
to which flags are set? Will the current flag settings apply with the
calculator in user mode?

Thanks !

Hey Rachelle,

When you execute the RCLF command you get a list of 2 "binary" integers. The 1st one is the state of the system flags, the 2nd is the user flags. They are supposed to be a direct mapping of the flag settings, 1 if the flag is set, 0 if not, with flag -1 (or 1, respectively) being the least significant (rightmost) digit. To see these integers as only 1's & 0's, do MTH -> BASE -> BIN. That will switch your display from the HEX mode you apparently have it in.

Unlike the flag browser, all of the flags are represented, so you can see, for instance, the state of flag 4 or 5 etc. Some of the settings need more than one bit, the 3 way toggle between RECT, CYLIN, & SPHERE is one of them, if I recall correctly.

If you do a RCLF and then store the list under a name such as MYFLAGS, you can then recall the list to the stack and do a STOF to restore the state of the flags. You can keep a copy of your favorite flag settings in MYFLAGS in case you want to experiment with the flag settings and then return to where you were before you made any changes.

The flags should be the same if you're in user mode except for the flag that sets the user mode.

Hope that helps

Do I need to save the flag settings in the format they are in now,
or in binary?

Thanks so much !

You don't "have to" save the list as I described. I didn't mean to leave that impression. If you choose to save it, it doesn't matter how it's displayed. The HEX or BIN setting changes only the way it appears on the screen, internally nothing changes, it's all the same. The same is true for the recent polar/rectangular discussion here, how the coodinate is presented to you on the screen is the only thing that's different.
