Meta-Kernel: 4-line stack?
Wingman
I've just installed the meta kernel on my HP48GX. I works great!
Though I prefer a 4-line stack. Is there an option to change it from 5
lines to 4?
Thanks.
Georg.

Glad you like it...

No, you can't. The maximum size of a font is 8 pixels hight, not 10 like the
standard stack.
But you'll get used to the new stack pretty quickly

... yeah, until you reach 40 years old, after which you will inevitably get
presbyopia and yearn for a 4-level stack again... or even 3 levels with nice
BOLD characters, which is something that nobody has ever done. Mike wrote
the BLIND library but it is a 2-level stack with characters that are merely
the regular ones doubled in height and width. Oh how I wish somebody would
write a 3-level stack with its own custom BIG BOLD font.....
And how come nobody has ever written a stack replacement of ANY size that
eliminates those stupid stack level numbers? We don't need no stinkin'
level numbers! Look how much display real estate they waste! Like 14% of
the display is wasted on 'em!
Hey, know what would be cool? Eliminate the level numbers (and colons and
trailing space) from the 49G's stack, but instead give the even-numbered
stack levels a faint gray background (should be easy since the 49G already
has greyscale support built in!) the way many tables have bars of color to
help delimit the rows, e.g. http://holyjoe.org/hhc2001/conflist.htm
Would the grey background make the display harder to read and thereby
counteract the benefit of a more readable stack? Yes. But I'd STILL rather
have a bold 3-level stack with no level numbers and a faint gray background
on level 2, than the geriatrically-insensitive microscopic 5-level stack we
have now.

Until you display objects like:
:: 2.22222222222 3.33333333333 ;
:: "Hey, anybody" "got a light?" ;
\<< FIRST.. PROGRAM?
\<< SECOND. PROGRAM?
\<< THIRD.. PROGRAM?
\<< FOURTH. PROGRAM?
\<< FIFTH.. PROGRAM?
\<< AND MANY MANY MORE? \>> \>> \>> \>> \>> \>>
In Alg mode, at least you can say that you've got "numberless" numbers ;)
Happy single-step debugging... OVER? PICK3? SWAP? ROT?

(including the body eg. bold, but using BOLD
would make them really bold that is:
not a single digit, but double digit ink on those letters)
6*4 mini => 12*8 MINI
6*6, 7*6, 8*6 => 12*12, 14*12, 16*12 respectively
I'm getting old, too.
About three weeks ago I lost four inches on my near-sight
