Introductory RPL Found

Introductory RPL Found

The usual broken illiterate crap with some fairly good RPL programming
examples intermixed. Worth at least looking at. Go to Rick Wendels folder and open the links folder.

I think the Thiel resources are high quality, especially compared to what else is available for the 50g. And I give them credit for having the nerve to REQUIRE using the 50g, and in RPN mode!

I've learned a lot going through the non-programming materials. Still have a long way to go on RPL, however. I think HP-41 -> RPL is an order of magnitude worse than ALG -> RPN. But then, I've never been able to grok FORTH, either. Someday...

Someday HP will learn how to write a programming manual in a procedural style that people can use write away. I don't have hours to sit there and play around with it until I accidentally do something right. That being said I plan to struggle threw and learn the calculator because I think RPL is the way to go. I picked up a couple things so far and should be able to pick up the rest in time. I'll upload my notes to my folder on a regular basis. You should start a notes folder of your own.

Don't forget about the wiki, it can be found in the groups links, quite
a few tips on there already.
