Hi Chuck,
Thanks for the tip.
I had noticed that they had gone to edition 2 of the manual, fixing the errata on page 13-9.

As previously discussed on this forum, the 33S can be programmed with "replacement" functions that automatically incorporate the same workarounds suggested by HP. Examples:
Replacement polar conversion function
(XEQ T):
LBL T
x=0?
ABS
x<>y
x=0?
ABS
x<>y
y,x->theta,r
RTN
Replacement HMS conversion function
(XEQ U):
LBL U
CF 4
x<0?
SF 4
FS? 4
+/-
->HMS
FS? 4
+/-
CF 4
RTN

As HP have issued 'work arounds' does that mean they are NOT going to fix the calculator? If that is so HP will go down another notch in my estimation. These bugs should be fixed, I can't think of another calculator maker with bugs that affect simple 'every day' calculations.
