Info

  The library is intended to work as a information manager on a HP48G/GX.

  Library Number: 1684
  Size: 1185 bytes
  Checksum: # C1F3h [# 49651d]


Installing the library

  1. Transfer the library (browse.lib) to your HP48G/GX.
  2. Recall the library to the stack.
  3. Purge the browse.lib variable.
  4. Enter the port number you want to store the library into and press STO.
  5. Turn the calculator off and then on again.


Usages

  BROWSE requires a list of strings on stack level 1. The first line of each
  string is displayed in the browser. The rest of the string will be displayed
  if you press [VIEW] (22 characters × 7 lines). The list is returned to the
  stack when you quit the browser.


  The menu contains the following soft-keys:

  [VIEW]
    Displays the highlighted string in the viewer.
    Press [->STK] to send the string the the stack.
    [EXIT] returns to the browser.

  [NEW]
    Starts the input line in alpha mode to enter a new string.

  [EDIT]
    Sends the highlighted string to the input line for editing.

  [DEL]
    Prompts for deleting the highlighted string.
    Press [YES] to confirm or [NO] to abort.

  [QUIT]
    Quits the browser.


  The CANCEL key will have the same action as pressing [QUIT], [EXIT] or [NO].
  CANCEL will also cancel the input line, and the changes will not be added to
  the list.

  Use the up and down arrow keys to scroll the list in the browser. Use right
  shifted arrow keys to go to the top/end of the list. Use left shifted arrow
  keys to go one page up/down. Press alpha + letter to move to a string
  starting with that letter.

  Use SORT to sort the list.

  Example:
  Store your information in a variable:
    { "string 1" "string 2" ... } 'Addr' STO

  Write a little program:
    <<
      Addr
      BROWSE
      SORT
      'Addr' STO
    >>

  This little program recalls the information to the stack and execute BROWSE.
  When leaving BROWSE it sorts the list and store the information.


Removing the library

  1. Enter the port ID in the form :PORT:1684 and press ENTER twice.
     PORT is the port number where you installed the library.
  2. Press the DETACH button (left-shift-library menu).
  3. Press the PURGE key.


Have fun:-)
