Feature Request: Allow L4STK when "Allow Big Stack mode" is disabled #40

Closed Aaron-Rumpler closed 2 years ago

Aaron-Rumpler commented 2 years ago

Allow programs to use L4STK when "Allow Big Stack mode" is disabled. This would allow programs expecting a 4 level stack to begin with L4STK and run whether the calculator has "Allow Big Stack mode" enabled or not. This would also align with the current behaviour of allowing 4STK when "Allow Big Stack mode" is disabled.

Also, if DEPTH, DROP, DROPN, DUP, DUPN, R↓N, R↑N, PICK, and UNPICK work in 4STK mode, why can they only be used when "Allow Big Stack mode" is enabled?

I think you're confusing "Allow Big Stack (NSTK)" mode in Preferences and the 4STK/NSTK setting in MODES.

The former can be used to completely block all big stack functionality, and exists for people who want HP-42S compatibility, and don't want to risk accidentally turning on NSTK mode.

The latter is the one that actually switches between the 4-level and the N-level stack.

Everything you're requesting here already works, provided you have Allow Big Stack mode turned on.

Sorry, I phrased that rather poorly. I've edited it to make it clearer.

Ah, OK. Yes, that makes sense. I'll make the change, it will be in the next release.
