Hi, David;
the right-arrow you get with the [right-shift][0] is not the same one you need for compiled local variables. The one that works here is the left-arrow, not available as a regular ALPHA character. Either you assign it to a key in the ALPHA keyboard (as Kiyoshi correctly suggested) or you use the CHARS menu.
I first read about compiled local variables (I do not remember reading about them in original HP manuals) at James Donnely´s "The HP48 Handbook" (2nd. Ed, p. 46). I consider this one a 'must read'. I also do not know if Willian Wickes tells about them in his "HP48 Insights", third volume (HP48G) because I did not read it (yet).
Hope this helps.
Cheers.
