In the second volume of the hp-48sx manual it gives an example program called "WALK" which animates a small man walking across the screen. This program uses a graphics object in the program code and stores it in a local variable. Except that the 48sx doesn't seem to know where the graphics object ends and the program code begins again. The program works if the graphics object is created as a global variable and referenced from inside the program. Is this normal or am I just reading the program listing wrong or what?

It sounds like you may be entering the graphics object incorrectly; I had no problems. Make sure it is entered in this format: GROB dim dim hex... There should be a space between GROB and the first dimension, between the first and second dimension, and between the second dimension and the hex digits. Once the hex digits start, there should be no spaces until the end of the graphics object -- even though the manual shows the graphics object on multiple lines (and with the first line not flush on the right with the rest), ignore that and enter the digits with no spaces. -- edp (Eric Postpischil) "Always mount a scratch monkey." edp@jareth.enet.dec.com
