50g

Can anyone tell me how to preview calculation stages during program execution. On my HP 42S i used the PAUSE command in my programs. Example of stages:
R=A/P
V=1/n*R^(2/3)*S^.5
Q=A*V
i need to view tagged stage calculation results.
I tried to use the WAIT command but i think i am not using it correctly as it will result in an Error message Bad Argument

Try using the HALT (PRG -> NXT -> NXT -> RUN -> HALT) command. To continue execution, press the CONT (leftshift ON). If you're trying to debug a usr rpl program, you might like to know the RUN directory is devoted to debugging and it would be useful to read up on it.

Please remember that the command WAIT takes an argument from the stack
(level 1:) if the number is zero the calculator stops the program until
any key is pressed, if it is different of zero, let's say 2, the
calculator will stop for two seconds and then continue the execution of
the program.

Thanks guys that helped. I did use both the WAIT and HALT commands and it worked. I also discovered that
(1) i can do my computation then
(2) write the text i want to use as a tag then
(3) SWAP
(4) put '+' sign
(5) MSGBOX
this will tag the result as well as halt program execution at the same time, until i press OK to continue.

My next question with this procedure is
How do i use the Carriage Return so that my result goes to the next line just like the ENTER key does on Microsoft Applications.

The carriage return is the symbol that looks like a bent arrow first going down and then to the left. On the 49g it's the rightshift 'decimal point'; might be the same on the 50g.

I guess i did not explain myself clearly. I know what the Carriage sign is and where to find it on the calculator. I can also use it when programming to format my entries nicely. The question is HOW do i incorporate it in my message output when programming so that my screen will show my output text (tag) and computed result on two different lines or even if the tag is longer than the screen instead of having just a single line output and having to use view then scrolling to the right or left.

i guess the bottom line is: IS IT A PROGRAMMABLE FUNCTION? Can it be executed as a command during the execution (running) of a program: if so how?
Once again thanks for your time and effort in sharing your knowledge i really appreciate it.

If string where you want the c/r to occur exists explicitly in the program, you can just type in the c/r while writing the program. Just type rightshift decimal at the end of the string.

If the string is constructed dynamically while the program is running, you can create the program with 10 chr + after the point where the string is constructed. That will "add" the c/r to the end of the string. That will happen at the end of step 2) in your example. Then continue with steps 3) & 4) & 5).

Just like you said, i added characters inside the square brackets ["c/r" +] just after step 2 but before step 3 and it worked. Thanks so much.
