Do the math functions have to be on CHOOSE menus?
No, you get the best of both worlds once more. New users don’t like using softkey menus because the 5-letter limitation makes it difficult to see the function of each, so they prefer CHOOSE menus with more letters shown. Advanced users prefer softkey menus because they are faster and fewer keystrokes are needed. The HP49 defaults to CHOOSE menus but allows one to switch to softkey menus if desired. Simply set flag -117 and you’re back to softkeys! These new CHOOSE menus are faster than the HP48 menus, allow shortcut keys to be pressed, have a scroll bar, and show up to eight lines.
