Wait why would the variable get deleted when the calc turns off? It's a sort of sleep isn't it? So there is no reason to delete them right? Unfortunately I don't know what you could use...

I know that GROB vars does and some other vars. It's possible that this is how HP calcs works. I just hope that there's at least something that can be kept in memory, so that games such as RPGs don't need to use password-based saving features like in some NES and SNES games. Typing passwords or writing them down was annoying.

That's what notes section on the prime is for :P. Anyway, so DJ do you know how to use the Mouse command? Like what exactly does it return and how do you use it?
If you don't know that's K.

EDIT: It looks like List and Matrices stay the same. Even after the calc is "reset". Just don't accidentally overwrite one when using graphs or something...
Lists are deleted when the calc is reset but not by turning it off. Matrices are invincible.

Ah I see. Now if only we could create as many custom-named lists as we want, there would be no risk of accidentally overwriting out highscores or something x.x

Also I didn't try the mouse command because I was focusing on learning xLIBC lately.

I'll look more into it... I would really like that...

I think it's funny how we say stuff in the IRC then say exactly what we just said in the post. #facepalm

True, although in some cases I think it's better that some calc help goes on the forums, in case someone needs it later.

I answered my comment when I wrote it. Thought about that just afterward but decided not to post it. XP

If you can't find something, check the catalog. Unfortunately my Hp Prime is dead and I lost my charger cable. :'(
I would help if I could.

Do you mean it's bricked? O.O Or has it just run out of batteries? You could maybe use a phone cable or something, but be careful to not destroy the link port, since it's kinda loose (the official HP cable has that rectangular thing at the end of it that holds it in place more).

As for the angle question, I can't help, sadly, since I haven't checked yet. D:

Ran out of batteries and got now charger, and I'm not willing to make a makeshift cable, I'm a software guy not hardware. :(

And you don't have any micro usb cable sitting around? I can count on 1 hand the times I've used the "official" charger. It will charge just as well from any usb port...

This is my question: What are the advantages of the HP PRIME in relative to the TI-NSPIRE and CASIO PRIZM?

The Hp Prime does not use a micro usb cable, it is a very specific port made for an Hp Prime cable only. I would have tried that already I have more than 50 micro usb cable.

This is my question: What are the advantages of the HP PRIME in relative to the TI-NSPIRE and CASIO PRIZM?
Hp Prime basic is VERY fast, as far as I know if any sort of assembly were to be made, it would be even faster?
Not to even mention the much higher resolution, 2-finger touch display, and easy to learn BASIC language.

Dude, it's a microusb. Tim Wessman works for HP on the prime, he would know exactly what the prime uses...
