Please help! – I’m away from the office and feeling naked without the manual for my 11c Mysteriously, my “period” has set itself to a “comma” – can someone kindly explain how to turn it back.
Many thanks in anticipation.

AFAIR press and hold the period key *before* pressing the ON key. After pressing ON release the period key. This should toggle between period and comma. Raymond

Thanks Raymond - worked a treat!

He complains! I have no manual at all for my 11C. Since I'm used to the 28S and the 48SX, I never have really known how to properly operate an 11C.

Such a terrible fate for a wonderful machine! I think you have an obligation to sell your 11C to me for a very small amount of money. Maybe then the spirits of HP engineers gone by will forgive you your sacrilege!

Actually, I have a manual for the 15C. It's a "one of these days" thing that I have to see how well the 15C manual works for the 11C. The first programmable calculator I ever bought was a Sharp that served well. I mislaid it and bought a little sort of programmable pocket whazzit as a fill in. One of the guys in the lab had an HP 28S and that was it. Bought one, and later an HP 48SX so the 28 & 48 series became my thing. I'm considering putting my extra calculators on eBay. they include the 11C, a 12C, a 32SII, possibly a 27, a 48GX, possibly a 48G+, and outside of HP, a TI 83 and a Casio 7000g.

Hi, unspellable; I own one of each: HP11C and HP15C. Using the HP11C with an HP15C Owner's Hanbook "in hands" is not hard at all, but some resources described in the HP15C's manual are not applicable to the HP11C, of course. Except for the four extra major enhancements found in the HP15C, being Complex Numbers handling, Matrices arithmetic, numerical SOLVE and Integration, both share the following equivalent points:
- math resources for real numbers, including trigs, logs and hypebolics Some of the differences are:
- memory handling, organization and availability: the HP15C has the equivalent to 67 registers (469 bytes) against 21 registers plus 63 program steps (210 bytes) in the HP11C available for the user I feel as if I'm missing something, but these are the raw differences and equivalences. Reading HP15C Owner's Handbook when using the HP11C demands taking these facts into account. My 2¢. Luiz (Brazil)

Luiz posted: "[SCI] and [ENG] in the HP11C are not defined for eight and nine digits"
Indeed they are, IIRC, but only if executed from the keyboard. SCI 8, SCI 9, ENG 8, and ENG 9 cannot be "I feel as if I'm missing something" Yes, a number of things, among them:
there are other minor differences as well. Best regards from V.

One of those minor differences I just discovered is that you cannot recall the current random number. On the 15C, the sequence [RCL][f][RAN#] gets you the random number returned by the last call to [f][RAN#]. You can do this as often as you like, always getting the same number back. On the 11C, you can store into the random number register (i.e., set the seed), but not recall from it.
