  thanks for all the useful links. Since I am a newbie, I am glad about all kinds of information I can get. I still have some problems with writing equations and solving them but I think you have to get used to it. It's a long way to become a real expert in this field ...

  Gary,
  
  you can do this by using an unknown variable such as a. go into program mode and hit lbl a. then on the next line eqn a = eqn t eqn a eqn p eqn e eqn t eqn e eqn m eqn p it will spell out tape temp
  
  the next line will be your next program b= blah blah.. i call it a table of contents
  
  also in the eqn library below your last equation you can type
  
  -------------------------------------
  conversions
  ------------------------------------
  
  39.37 in = 1 meter
  3.28083333= 1 meter
  .08333333= inch etc
  
  
  
  you can type and type and type for what i call a cheat sheet
  
  as far as i can tell the programs for the hp 33s and the hp 35s are identicle..
  
  i spent a lot of time developig my own programs and programming calculators for exam takers
  
  my hp 33 acts almost identicle to the hp 41 with survey pac with prompts etc

    Thanks Ty for your reply. You got me thinking and I have come up with a crude program that serves as a cheat sheet. For starters using LBL Z, when I XEQ Z for instance I am prompted with "VERT STDS" and by hitting R/S "HORZ STDS". If I want what appears at the prompt I hit "1 R/S" and "1ST ORD 1/100000” appears in the calculator window hit R/S again and “2ND ORD,CL2 1/50000” and so on. I think I will be able to create some handy note keeping this way.

  Perhaps this Wiki for HP35s can help..also here is a help document and another. Hope this helps...good luck!
