Startup script for 49G+ - Tony - 07-06-2005 I want to have a particular User RPL program run automatically every time the calc is turned on. Can anybody tell me what I need to do? Thanks.
Tony.
Re: Startup script for 49G+ - Raymond Del Tondo - 07-06-2005 Hi,
store either the RPL program or better it's name More info: comp.sys.hp48 Also try to RTFM;-)

Re: Startup script for 49G+ - Arnaud Amiel - 07-06-2005 The question is not at Startup (RTFQ) but when turned on. 2: << OFF ... >>Then you need to get your calculator in user mode so it uses the new definition of the [OFF] key: -62 SF of [LS][ALPHA] until USR displays in the header. Also try asking questions on comp.sys.hp48 where people are more interested in the new hp calculators. Good luck

Re: Startup script for 49G+ - Tony - 07-06-2005 Arnaud: Thanks, that seems to work. Raymond: I did RTFM and TFUG, but couldn't find anything there about this. Maybe you could tell me where I could find it, for future reference. All: I get the hint; this is a museum. I'll try comp.sys.hp48 in future. Thanks a lot.
Tony.
Re: Startup script for 49G+ - Ron Ross - 07-06-2005 Raymond is not being rude. He often answers questions in comp.sys.hp48 and you will see this when you visit there. It is just that experts here are more familiar with the older units (some are also very familiar with the newer ones too!). As such, you are best served by asking your questions there.
Another suggestion, visit hpcalc.org and download both the HP48G user's guide and more importantly, the Advanced User's Guide for the Hp48G series. This is a must have for any 48/49G owner.
Re: Startup script for 49G+ - Raymond Del Tondo - 07-06-2005 Hi Arnaud,
your program only works if the user explicitely
I'm not too deep in the 49g+, I have to admit;-) If it's the latter case, then the Startup var seems to be of limited use.
Recently there was a thread (either here or in c.s.hp48)

Re: Startup script for 49G+ - Arnaud Amiel - 07-06-2005 Quote: Yes, the STARTUP var only works after a warmstart so it would be equivalent to your libary solution for the 48. My startup on sets up the flags and few parameters I want to run with.

Re: Startup script for 49G+ - Tony - 07-06-2005 I haven't been able to get the STARTUP variable (in the home directory) to have /any/ effect. Maybe I'm missing something. Arnaud's solution is fine for my purposes; it's just a maintenance routine to clear out junk from the directories before I start work.

Re: Startup script for 49G+ - Arnaud Amiel - 07-06-2005 Just store << "It is working" 'Test' STO >> in 'STARTUP' in your HOME directory. Restart your calculator with [ON][C] and you should see the effect.

Re: Startup script for 49G+ - Tony - 07-06-2005 Ah yes, that works alright. Thanks.

So store a program to be executed at every turn-on in a variable
Store the program \<< OFF AUTOEXEC \>>in STARTOFF.
Asssign \<< STARTOFF \>>to the OFF key, and turn on USER mode. This way the program will be executed regardless of which way the calculator turns off, as long as USER mode is active.
If you also want it to be executed when warmstarting, then include Caution; not tested, but the above makes sense to me.

Will that also work on the 49 series, where libraries aren't

Something all 49g+ owners should have in STARTUP - Gene - 07-07-2005 From Joe Horn: "49g+ owners should set ->NDISP to 12, since the default is 9 which wastes some of the 49g+'s taller screen when the font is FONT7, FONT6, or the MINIFONT. Also, note that the ->NDISP setting is reset to 9 at every warmstart. Including << 12 ->NDISP >> in 'STARTUP' eliminates this problem." 9 works for the 48gII and the older 48G series. 12 is what the 49g+ should be set to.

Re: Something all 49g+ owners should have in STARTUP - Arnaud Amiel - 07-07-2005 Thanks for the tip but mine is set to 3 so I can still see the stack when I have big objects on it.
Arnaud
Re: Startup script for 49G+ - Tony - 07-08-2005 That not only makes sense, but works very well! Thanks.
