Hi all,
I just came across a quadratic formula program that that I do not know how to enter. One of the lines is STO: ST Z and another line is simply :
Can anyone help.
Thanks,
Bob Demers

Hi, Bob; the HP42S, as the HP41, allows the contents of the X-register to be directly sotred in any of the stack registers (as you probably know). When you press [STO][.] in the HP41, you can add any of the following: [X], [Y], [Z], [T] or [L] (no need to press [ALPHA]. In the HP42S, you should press [STO][.] (wrongly posted as [shift], orange key) and locate the equivalent register is the softkeys: [ST X] for X-register, [ST Y] for Y-register and so. If you want to use a valid register as for an index (IND) with [STO], in the HP41 you´d use [STO][shift] (golden key)and select a numbered register, or [STO][shift][.] and any stack-related key, as mentioned above. In the HP42S, the sequence should be [STO][.] and the softkey [IND] plus any valid register. If you choose either a numbered or a named register, simply idnetify it after the [IND] softkey. For a stack register identificator, you should press [STO][.][IND] and [.] again to invoke the stack-related softkeys again. I have no calculators in hands right now, so please, forgive me if I'm adding a senseless sequence.
Quote:I don´t recall having the ':' as a separated operation; could it be an ALPHA sequence, like 02 ":"I don't know where did you take the listings from, but could you add the complete listing here for us? Is it in the HP42S manual? Hope you succeed. Luiz (Brazil)

Luiz, Wow, that was fast. The program was taken from this site and I have included the link below. Thanks for your very fast response. Bob Demers ▼

Hi, Bob; it seems to me that the ':' is, in fact, a division symbol (÷). In this case, the STO÷ ST Z is keyed in with: [STO][÷][.][ST Z]The other occurrences of ':' in the program (step #05 and step #08) should also be keyed in accordingly, with [÷]. Hope this is correct (I'm not home yet to test the program). Best regards.

Hi, all; I`m home now and I see that I wrongly used [STO][shift] for the HP42S all of the times where [STO][.] is the correct keystroke sequence. Please, read again my posts above, in this thread, if you did not get to the correct sequence:
My first answer (post) Thank you all and, please, forgive me.
