[comp.sys.handhelds] HP28S --> HP48SX

I'm not so sure anything but the simplest programs will convert to the
HP48SX without some modification:  some functions, though they seem to
do the same thing as the 28S, return different arguments.  The
one that comes to mind is RCLF.  If I recall (no pun intended, of course)
correctly, this returns _two_ 64-bit binary object in a list, whereas
the 28S only returned a single 64-bit number.

No, I can't think of any others off-hand, but I don't think a 28S --> 48SX
conversion will be trivial.

BTW:  Anyone notice that the TRACE command of the 28S is missing in the 48SX?
Or have I just overlooked it?  TRACE came in handy while debugging programs.
And, yes, I also used it to help me balance my checkbook....
