I need to enter characters into Alpha strings during program entry which are not accessible directly from the keyboard. Can anyone tell me how to do this?
I know how to use XTOA in normal mode, but how do I do something equivalent during program entry?
For example I want a program line which is:
016 [,] - where the character codes are 91 44 93
I am sure it must be something simple I have missed in the manual!
Thanks, Gordon.

Hi, Gordon; One option is using synthetic programming, say, you enter any character in there, then you substitute it for another by using synth comands. Also, you can save it in the extended memory and use functions available in modules such HEPAX, CCD and others that allow direct manipulation of fikles. Another way that needs extra equipment is downloading the program (HPIL) to a file in your computer, change the code in there and load it back. Except for the synthetic code (I do not know how to do it, but I have once used synth programming in... 1987?) or the extra functions available in some modules, I cannot think of an easy way to type a non-standard character as a program line. Cheers.

Dear Gordon,

The program I am trying to type in is the Fruit Machine Game for HP-41C out of the HP-41C Program Library in this museum.

Dear Gordon,

Hi, Grdon; I read the page for the Fruit Machine (it took me all of this time to post because we had a blackout in the neigbohrhood) and it's written : "Synthetic Programming (SP) is only cosmetic, used for fancy Tones and reel symbols – you can easily substitute standard characters and tones in the lines indicated below" Have you already tried this? Cheers.

Cosmetic only? That guy must be joking -- or he has never learned enough to understand its power. -EM

Hi, Ernie; Just to add that it seems to me he was refering to the use of Synth Ciodes for that particular purpose. I'd write: "In this game, the use of SP is cosmetic only..." Best regards.

Thanks, I have substituted other characters and its working.

Hey!

In my experiance with SP, I found that it was a great way to get the 41C to do some very nice things. But after the Extended Fuctions Module and then the 41CX came out, SP feats could be done as well or better with the standard built-in commands.

Hi Gordon,
As you're in Britain (I haven't worked out where), Best Regards, Wlodek Mier-Jedrzejowicz |
