If a manual does not exist, does anyone have plans to make one anytime
soon? I'm certain there are a lot of surveyors/engineers who would
purchase such a book.

The exams are not such that certain calculators are *banned*, but
where only a few calculators are *allowed*. Older HP models (or newer
ones with more connectivity) may not be on that allowed list.
To the OP: the 35s does not have I/O, so if you were to purchase such
a book of programs, you would have to enter each program in by hand.
Then, since the 35s cannot save programs to nonvolatile memory, you
would have to carefully change the two batteries one at a time to
retain user memory, lest you re-enter all of the equations/formulae
into the calculator.
S.C.
Hello Jon,
The way I see it, you have two options:
1. Buy an hp 33s and manual from D'Zign (the best option).
2. Buy the hp 33s manual from D'Zign and adapt the programs for your
hp 35s.
Best of luck on the exam!
Regards,
Mark
Or get two calculators, using one as a "manual backup" to the other.

The original HP35 was not even programmable,
but IIRC a book of "keystroke programs" for it,
the "HP35 Math Pac," to handle many problems,
was produced anyway by HP (and bought by me).
Who was the "prolific HP35 user" who originally wrote them?

How would you display all 1's, 2's, ... 9's?"
Wow, here is quite a find (courtesy of Nelson & Horn)

"HP made it very easy for you to buy a machine.
You contacted the HP sales force and a salesman would take your order.
HP also started an order-by-mail campaign that gave you a true 15 day free trial.
They would not cash your check until after the 15 day trial"

My HP calcs (HP11C, HP50G) hold their memories while battery
changing for minutes. You only get a problem, if you switch them
on with removed batteries. Try it, in my opinion there will be
no problem

Did you take out the HP50G's lithium memory backup battery,
to make that a fair contest :)
