[comp.sys.handhelds] Assigning a Program to a Key: BUG!

mheubi@.itr.uu.ch (Heubi Matthias) (02/13/91)

Hi there!

I'm hardly trying to assign something like a second CST menu to a
Key. The Problem now is, that the 48 doesn't allow to press the
appropriate Key while editing a Program.
Since I would like the menu to operate like the Custom Menu,
(actually I will include my own functions and commands as the MTH-Menu
for easy typing) this is very inconvinient, or let's say: USELESS!

Is there any way to execute a program (assigned to a key) while
editing something? Probably assigning of a Code object would work ??

Even better would it be, if the called program's return value would
be inserted at the current cursor location...

any suggestions .... ?

Matthias


P.S.  I've written some nice code to auto-calculate the error of a
      given function f(a,b,c...)  by entering da, db, dc ...
      there's also a worst-case calculation..
      (maybe I'll post it soon)

      and something to convert REAL -> 'x*sqrt(y)/u*sqrt(v)'
