This seems to work for me:

[015D]"M"→Str1
GetCalc(Str1)→P


Not on the calc... that little _L thingy is EB, but CheckFindSym does not read that as 5Dh, unfortunately, so you have to convert it in case like these. Whenever I copy a user string to OP1 as a name of a var, I have code that checks that byte and converts it if it is EB to 5D.

Ah, I thought Axe would read it as $5D like how it reads prgm as $05/$06.

Didn't know that. I used to set it up to check for both cases... This'll save some bytes

It is a very useful trick that I love taking advantage of
As another trick, rFindSym will not find programs or other named vars, but it doesn't need the type byte
Out of randomness, I created a routine that is like rFindSym except the name is in the register BC instead of in OP1 >_> It returns the same results, too

Edit:
Now if only I could figure out what, exactly, P is pointing to....

P points to the first element in the list. If the list is a real number list, you can find each 9-byte floating point element at N*9+P, where N is the element's index in the list (0-based). If it's a complex list, the elements will be at N*18+P. The 2 bytes immediately before the location P points to contain a value specifying how many values are in the list, which can be read with {P-2}^r.

I wonder why TI didn't do that. It wouldn't support named lists, though, right?

Right, but neither does rFindSym, unfortunately

But I need to read the nibbles and I can't figure out which ones to read. That, and I somehow created an infinite for loop.
