CLX<->DROP: bug or feature ?

[Herlock]

Hi Byron,

I just realized that the first time you press CLX, it has the normal
CLX behaviour, but the second time (i.e. once the X number is 0, the
executed command is... DROP ! even though I disabled all the 48-
options which I don't want...
Is it intended ? I would rather not have the 48-like options interfere
with the "pure" 42 style...
Btw, when is the next version coming ? ;)

Cheers

Yes, that's by design.  Hitting the 'back arrow' twice performs a DROP, unless you have the DROP switch on, then it performs it on the first click.

Even though this behavior is different from the 42, I think it is rather obscure, it has been there over a year at this point.

I have version 3.1 on the launch pad, but it'll probably be another couple of weeks.

Thanks Byron.
Btw, what are the non-existant functions STPW and RCLALM doing in the
CLEAR menu ? :)

Bug! I'll fix it in the next release!

Byron,

It would be nice if we had an option to turn off this feature. For me, pressing CLx is a bit of a nervous habit. Befire I know it, I've unintentionally dropped the full contents of the stack.

Love the iOS emulator!
