"Wikibook" on programming HP calculators in HP-BASIC



Hi everyone,

I'm reasonably sure most of you will have heard of Wikipedia, if not,
have a look at this page.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia
This explains what Wikipedia and the wiki concept are all about. A
sister project of Wikipedia, Wikibooks, was more recently created, and
I've made substantial edits and additions to the book on programming HP
calculators in HP-BASIC.
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Programming_HP_Calculators

However, the content is still far from complete, and needs expansion!
Anyone can edit the wikibook, you don't need to make an account
although I recommend it, and you'd be doing a great service to the HP
calculator programming community! Documentation on HP-BASIC is
currently ''extremely'' sparse with the documentation suggesting that
learning the language be left as an "exercise for the reader"... for
example, I had to learn the MAKEGROB command by what essentially
amounts to trial and error, and have now written a quite-substantial
module on this in the wikibook.

http://www.google.com/search?q=programming+hp+calculators
The page is also nearing the top Google result for HP calculator
programming, so hopefully, we'll be able to build a comprehensive
resource for anyone trying to learn HP-BASIC.

Thanks for any edits you make,
Scott Young (aka Splintax on wikibooks)
