William C Wickes: >POSSIBLE BUG IN HP48 MODES BROWSER

One of Murphy's lesser-known laws is that when you have an old, faulty
version of software, and think you have purged all copies thereof, one
will remain somewhere.  Furthermore, when you post that software for
others to use, it is the old, faulty version that gets posted.  @#$%@#$!@ !!!

What follows is (I hope) the correct version of the modes browser. 

I apologize for the screw-up.  I don't recall that the old version actually
corrupted memory, but then I also thought I had posted the correct version.

                     ***********************

Below is the code for modes browser I demonstrated at the Philly meeting.
Executing this object creates an interactive modes display that
displays most HP-48 flag-controlled modes and their current states.  The
display shows seven modes at a time, with a pointer in the leftmost
column that "selects" one mode and moves through the catalog.  You
can move the selection pointer with the arrow keys, or by pressing
one of the menu keys

               MATH   PLOT   I/O   TIME   DISP   SYS

each of whichs jumps to a block of modes related to the key label.

Other keys are defined as follows:

    [down-arrow]   Moves the pointer to the next mode.

    [up-arrow]     Moves the pointer to the previous mode.

    [left][down] Moves the pointer down one page.

    [right][down] Moves the pointer to the last entry.

    [left][up] Moves the pointer up one page.

    [right][up] Moves the pointer to the first entry.

    [ENTER] Enters the (first) flag number of the selected mode, tagged with
            the mode name (visible when you exit the browser).

    [+/-]    Toggles the selected mode to its next state.

    [right][OFF] Turns the 48 off.

    [ATTN]  Exits the browser.

After downloading the string to your HP 48, use ASC-> to create the executable
object.
