"Standard" module "number" programs
Posted: Mon Apr 26, 2021 10:10 pm
The "Standard" module catalog begins with "CLSTK" and then the numerals "1" through "9" and then "0."
Calling these functions with "XEQ" (and a combination of "ALPHA" and "SHIFT" to type the numerals) produces a horizontally-scrolling display I don't understand, with a fixed-point number (meaning, with a four-digit mantissa) followed by two additional numbers prefaced by "Z:" and "T:"
The only manual for the "Standard" module is HP's "Standard Applications" booklet — which lists the individual programs so they can be manually entered (meaning, it's redundant to the module but doesn't explicitly refer to the module) — and I can't find the numbered programs in there.
Can anyone explain this? Thanks in advance for anyone's time and attention.

ADDENDUM: It appears that these "programs" list the stack — like the "STACK" program does. (Of course I should have recognized the stack register names: X, Y, Z and T.) It's possible that all 10 digits simply skip to the next item in the catalog, which is "STACK." It could be an idiosyncrasy of the catalog.
