Questions about the HP28S

1)	How do I find out what version I have?
2)	What version should I have?
3)	Can I have variable names (or a menu label) like: +TAX
4)	Does anyone have a bug list?
5)	I presume that having MEM return 1234.5 is okay, I never saw
	non-integers on my 28C
6)	What's the lowest price for leather cases for the Calc and Infra-
	Red printer. UK or US.

1) Execute #10d SYSEVAL.  But there was only ever one version, 2BB.
2) 2BB
3) Variable names can't start with algebraic operator or object delimiter
symbols, or digits.
4) There aren't any bugs of consequence on the 28S.  There are a few bugs,
but I can't remember what they are, except for one: don't use {1 2 /} as
a guess for the solver.
5) Half-integer values returned by MEM are OK, and an improvement in accuracy
over the 28C.

Hi,
	Is there a way of removing a user created CUSTOM MENU from the HP28S?
The only way I've found involves a MEMORY LOST!, and I've got too much in the
calculator for that.  Also, does anyone have a list of the programs people
have posted for the 28S??  After the 48SX came out, I've had a hard time
finding any new programs.--

{ }  MENU

This should clear it I think but I have had my 28 for a long time and I'm
not positive.
