OK, dragged my actual paper HP42 manual out, and found CLMENU
The up/dn annunciator is always on when I have a MENU
This may be because the KEY N xxx yyyy menu is persistent i.e. if I run MENU again with no KEY commands. it will bring up the previous KEY items.
As an aside my complex number menu is type sensitive**. Unfortunately this requires an event to be fired anytime the contents of X changes to update the menu. This is pretty much any key being pressed. While I have yet to think it through, an any key: KEY 10 might be a way to do it.
**i.e. the menu changes according to X being real, rect complex or polar complex. As soon as you press a number key, it becomes a real number again.
So I am testing CPX? and flag 73 (polar)

You say that Free42 enables them when KEY 7 or KEY 8 is used So either the annunciator is always on and the above is incorrect, or (more likely), I am unable to clear a previously set KEY 7 or KEY 8 menu item.
Is there a way to clear these KEY N menu items?
