35s Anomalies



Two pieces of anomalous behavior noted so far.

1. The calculator turns off when either shift key is operated prior
to the on/off key. Not per the manual or the expected operation based
on color coding of shifted functions.

2. A number entry that starts with depressing the E key then an
exponent value and pressing Enter gives a syntax error on the 35s.
All other RPN and RPL HP calculators tried, and the 20s, accept such
an entry. On those units pressing E enters 1 E in the x register or
data entry line.

A complete entry of E 2 Enter on all except the 35s puts 100 in X or
level 1. As noted, on the 35s this causes a syntax error as soon as
Enter is pressed.
