I think the InputLine command will do this if you let it parse the
string.  It will recognize the two numbers and put themin levels one and
two.  You wonn't see the level numbers in the prompt unless you put them
there.  InputLine is much like the INPUT user-RPL command.

I hope this helps

Go into the graphics environment and hold down a cursor key...  I would
guess that the cursor no longer flickers like it does in revision E?  The
first time I saw this flicker, it was slightly annoying, as the HP-28S
doesn't flicker.

As far as I can tell, the signal on the IR is the same as would be on
a serial cable.  And from experiments I have done, I also *think* that
it sends at 600 baud.  I, too, am trying to find more info on this.

	There have been several posts regarding hp48SX won't recongnize
the RAM card.  (TDS 512K RAM card, I think).  I heard people told me
that TDS and CMT's card are suppose to be 100% compatiable with
the hp48SX.  So is this just a special case or there are other
users who have RAM card made by companies other than HP having
the same problem?  The reason I ask is that I am about to buy
a CMT 128K RAM card for it's cheapest price in Educlac (only $80).
	2nd, how does the display intensty setting affects the
battery?  I mean, if I put my calc to a darker intensity, would it
use more power?  (Yeah, call me a scrooge since I always try to
use the lightest display to saving power, and now I am near-sighted:)
	Last thing.  does anyone knows a way to "remove" a directory
inside/outside to/from another directory?  Like if I have home/math/draw,
would it be possble to remove the draw directory to home directory?
Hey, guess what?  I just tested it by do "left-shift+dirname", which
gives methe contents of the dir, then do "'dirname'", which gives me the
name of the dir, I switch to the the appropriate directory, then "STO", and
it's there! However, this is more like copy instead of remove.  so incase
I want to move a 10k directory it would be messy and I might run out of
space.....so does anyone konws a way or is there're any program out
there that does remove operation like in DOS?
	All responses would be greatly appricated.  Thanks in advance!

I HAVE seen libraries that intentionally do not self attach.  This is
probably so that the user can attach the library to whatever directory he
desires.  This might be advantageous if you only wanted to be able to run
a certain library from a certain directory.  You can change the $CONFIG
of a library bydissassembling a library wihth the <-LIB-> library, change
the $CONFIG routine (or delete it) and reassemble the library.  This
should work with most libraries.  Just make sure that the $CONFIG routine
can never error or you'll get yourself into trouble.

Just my thoughts

I agree... this would be a neat idea.  I'm not very sure that it's
marketable, though.  To get decent access times (better than Sparcom's
floppy drive _could_ give you if they did it properly), you'd have to go
through the expansion ports.  You could create a "taller" 48 and have your
extension turn the serial port plug into a DB-9 plug, and perhaps
incorporate an IR amplifier as well, to PO your profs (just kidding).

John,

    Use

EvalNoCK     (PTR 18F23)

    or

EvalNoCK:    (PTR 18F6A)

EvalNoCK takes its argument from level one. It must be a composite
type object. It checks the first object of the composite for the
combined word type CK(n)&Dispatch, if it is then CK&DISPATCH1 is
used instead. Otherwise it skips the first object of the composite.

EvalNoCK: works the same but it uses the following object (composite)
in the runstream. For example:

::
  EvalNoCK:
  x+
;

Also, DON'T TRY TO JUST JUMP INTO THE MIDDLE of a routine. This
will likely cause a crash.

There is a system-RPL GOTO command to jump into the middle of
ROM programs.

The commands in a program are actually pointers to the commands
address in ROM.

The GOTO command won't work with x+ and x* anyway, because the
first command is the combined word CK2&Dispatch.

	I've noticed a couple of times that when I go to my libarary menu,
that a library name is duplicated. It's happened maybe 3 times now that I
noticed and all 3 times the library has been FMLIB, (the file manager by
James Donnelly (I think) that comes with the HP cable kit). Anyone have 
any suggestions, (BTW the library IS attached to HOME).

	My 2nd bit of trouble is that unless I attach a libarary from my
HOME directory I absolutly cannot get rid of it, is there a special trick?

IE I'm in a direcotory called MATH, and I have a library (# 1234) here's
   what I do (I hope I don't screw this up because I'm writing from 
   memory).

   Level 3 ...actual library
   Level 2 :0:1234
   Level 1 :0:1234

   I do an ATTACH, and then a STO, then a OFF/ON.
   Now by library should be attached to the directory MATH.
   To get rid of it I do the following

   Level 2 :0:1234
   Level 1 :0:1234

   I do a DETACH then a PURGE, and I get an ERROR LIBRARY IN USE.
   (BTW Assume I made sure the old library variable wasn't in LAST STACK
    etc.)
   I try from the HOME directory and get the same thing, what am I doing
   wrong? This works fine if I do the attach from my HOME directory.

Well...I don't agree with Douglas R. Cannon regarding the behavior of
libraries that don't have $CONFIG files.   Unless I'm doing something
wrong.  I took out the $config routine from one of my libraries and used
<-LIB-> to create a new library.  It did not attach itself to anything. 
When I attached it to a subdirectory, it behaved as I expected it to...It
only appeared in the LIBRARY menu when that directory was active.

One thing did surprise me though.  When I did a warm start, the library
without the config routine was still attached to the subdirectory.  I
thought I would have to reattach it after a warm start????  Anyone...

Doug, I'm not sure why you're libraries without config routines are
attaching to the HOME directory.  What are you using to create the
library?  Maybe it's putting a config routine in there for you???
