Tony, I got another one for you.
Do you know how I get rid of the little letter 'c' in the lower right hand corner of my display ?
Thanks
D

Tony, you da man ! Thanks D
Many of us could have answered that -- it's probably the #1 FAQ. We all da men!
The keystroke sequence for changing the radix is clever -- accessible, and intuitive once you know it, yet doesn't take a precious keyboard position on the faceplate. Most users will "set and forget" the radix unless it gets reset by some means. Earlier models (Spice, e.g. HP-34C) required the positioning of an internal jumper; later models made it a programmable command (Pioneer, e.g., HP-20S) labeled on the front.
As for your other question, Flag 8 set (Complex mode) is one of the few things that are unintuitive about the HP-15C. You can remember it as one of the two "system" flags, which are the highest-numbered of the 10-member set 0-9. Flag 9 makes the display blink; it is automatically set by an overflow condition.
