A complete entry of E 2 Enter on all except the 35s puts 100 in X or

Enter is pressed.
Yes, It also encountered this weird behaviour of the 35s.
Wouldn't have been too difficult to implement...

Indeed.

ACK. Has there been any other HP before that required a mantissa and did
not assume 1 if none was entered?

I also wish that you could enter proper fraction by pressing the
decimal point twice as some calculators allow (e.g., for 2/3 you enter "2 . .
3" -- the 35s makes you enter "0 . 2 . 3" -- no more keystrokes,

In your example I count one additional keystroke (4 vs. 5), but the
first zero is not required. Simply type . 2 . 3 and you're done.
