[comp.sys.handhelds] playing with the HP49 LCD

jrl@images1.Waterloo.NCR.COM (john Latala) (10/28/90)

I'm not that thrilled with the quality of the HP48 manuals. I didn't
like them when I converted from a HP28 to the '48. A friend of mine
converted to the '48 from a '41 and he's hates teh manuals with a
passion.

His big complaint is that they don't describe everything about a comamnd
and that the index is a joke.......

Now back to my problem......

In the little program:

	<<
	  DO
	    LCD->
	    ->LCD
	  UNTIL KEY END
	  DROP
	>>

I haven't been able to find a way to make the dislplay change smoothly,
like it does on the HP28S. With the HP48 there's an annoying flicker, it
looks like the screen is cleared before the '->LCD' command is done.

How can I get rid of the flicker?
