In reply to Ron:
The Hp 50g is NOT restricted to single variable names and can literally store variables up to it RAM limitations. This simply means longer variable names take a bit more memory than shorter names, but you can have hundreds, if not thousands of variables. RPL is more of a keystroke programming language than the Hp BASIC you are probably refering to, both do work, but most programmers use RPL on this machine. Goto´s or their similar function are not really limited except by memory,not any predetermined value.

how many variable memory?(alpha A-Z or 26 variables as standard to some programmable calculators);label goto functions can we stored in HP-50g?

Where can I find a library of financial functions, so that my 50g works like the 17ii, for example? is there such a thing out there?
thanks!

Hello Ron,
i just know little bit how to program 48g,
and i use this to apply to my Hp50g i just bought,
i wish to know how to be able to some thing above
where header is next to "User" mode is
EX: i want to write a word "Schedule1"

In reply to Ronr Ross:
There are a couple of sites if you google. However you can also go to Hp´s own calculator site for some training sections on how to use the Hp50G as well. Aside from the programming, if you learn to use the solver, you may never need to program. Simply write your equation in the EQW, enter, give it a name, then store. Then hit the solver and select your eqw name and Voila, you will be able to solve that algebraic equation. The secret to becoming good at programing the Hp50G is to convert over to RPN so that the RPL programming becomes more natural. Otherwise you will have to do the crippled BASIC that is not as well integrated as Ti´s BASIC. However, the use of the EQW can substitute for a lot of programming. Also you can make use of the DEFINE function as well. Another way to avoid extensive programming.

Can anyone tell me if the flag settings still apply if you are in User mode? Also, on my 48SX, I have a keystroke that is programmed to bring up my custom menu, and lock the calculator in User mode, but I am having trouble with getting it to work on my new 50g. Any ideas?

had 48G, 49G, and now have 50G. 50G has the best features and program capabilities but, like 49G the keyboard broke easily. 48G has the best keyboard. anyone has same broken keyboard issues after a few months of use ?

Hello guys:
i recently bought a brand new HP50G and although i´m impressed by it´s capabilities i still cannot think of disposing of the HP42S i was using. the HP42S has it´s notable limitations i agree but i think it´s one of the greatest and dependable(faithful) calculators HP ever made. Any comments? Any replies, my e-mail is cfortuh@gmail.com

So why should I upgrade the 50g? Benefit not described.

oops...after looking at an enlarged view of the hp50g it looks like it is alph numeric...

i think maybe you hp guys might have just produced what i am looking for in the hp50g...sorry for the nasty comments....

augh come on hp guys...where´s the alpha numerical caoabilities the old hp 42s had 20 years ago...bring it back...bring it back...bring it back! we in the engineering field need to be able to save variable by their actual name...and the menu function...where did that go...we need hp to produce the best calculators again with that great support you used to offer...

the new and improved hp50g...maybe...but i´d rather have a new hp42s right out of the box...

thanks for letting me vent!

Hi! Can anyone tell me if the keyboard on the 50G is made better than it was on the 49G+? I bougth the 49G+ two years ago, and was very desapointed over the poor keyboard, and returned it to the store. Many others had problems with the 49G+ at that time.
So does anyone have comments, have hp solved the problems on the new 50G?
Thanks. Martin.
