I just tried it again in RPN mode on realcalc and if I leave out the final ENTER from Dwayne's example I get one. It makes sense as the 2 is in the X register and pressing enter will push a copy into the stack. Just to confirm I dug out my HP16C and tried both methods. Dwayne's gives 0.5 but without the final ENTER it gives 1. Is there a difference in RPN implementations at play here? --=20 http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist .
