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?

Dieter;

None I know of but I have not tried the 33s or pre 41C design HP LED
units. I tried this on a original 20S, 41CV, 42s, 48SX, 48GX and 50G
calculators without error and with 1 both assumed and automatically
entered. The 48GX units included one with the normal operating
system and one with the Meta Kernel ROM card installed.

I remember though that the HP 67 and 97 allowed program data entry of
E 3 for example and the program interpreted it as 1000, saving 2
program steps. The 41C's compatibility software built into the card
reader had to take account of this in translating HP67 programs read
from HP67 magnetic cards .

On my old Commodore LED RPN unit the 1 entry is required to even
enable exponent entry ;-)
