- Regarding the C$ $ and Detlef's RPL-> routine, the suggestion that Detlef
- should have included the C$ $ instead of C$ xxx in his routine so that it
- wouldn't have problems with the edutor indicates that you don't quite
- understand what is happenning. I believe that it is the EDITOR, not the
- RPL-> routine that is responsible for this. If the HP48 editor sees a
- string with imbedded quote marks in it, it automatically enters the
- editor with the C$ xxx format. Whether you specify a string with quote
- marks or with the C$ xxx format, the HP48 represents the string
- internally as the same object, specifically, as a 5 nibble prolog
- followed by a 5 nibble length and the ascii character codes. It is the
- editor which decides how to prestent the string to the user for editing.

- Hope this clears it up a little more,
