As a HP-35 buyer when they first appeared in '72, I sonn found it simple to explain RPN by using a basic rule of good composition: avoid passive voice. The "+" key is not, of course "plus" rather it is the active voice term "add" and such.. And all commands are "active voice" unlike a TI where some were... Of course, I soon found far too many people had no grasp of active vs. passive voice........ -- A host is a host from coast to coast.................wb8foz@nrk.com & no one will talk to a host that's close........[v].(301) 56-LINUX Unless the host (that isn't close).........................pob 1433 is busy, hung or dead....................................20915-1433
