Programming commands

This section describes the commands for programming with HP 39G/40G. You can enter these commands in your program by typing them or by accessing them from the Commands menu.

Aplet commands

These commands control aplets.

CHECK

Checks (selects) the corresponding function in the current

 

aplet. For example, Check 3 would check F3 if the current

 

aplet is Function. Then a checkmark would appear next to F3

 

in Symbolic view, F3 would be plotted in Plot view, and

 

evaluated in Numeric view.

 

CHECK n

SELECT

Selects the named aplet and makes it the current aplet. Note:

 

Quotes are needed if the name contains spaces or other

 

special characters.

 

SELECT apletname

SETVIEWS

The SETVIEWS command is used to define entries in the

 

VIEWS menu for aplets that you customize. See “About

 

customizing an aplet” on page 15-9 for an example of using

 

the SETVIEWS command.

 

When you use the SETVIEWS command, the aplet’s standard

 

VIEWS menu is deleted and the customized menu is used in

 

its place. You only need to apply the command to an aplet

 

once. The View menu changes remain unless you apply the

 

command again.

 

Typically, you develop a program that uses the SETVIEWS

 

command only. The command contains a trio of arguments for

 

each menu option to create, or program to attach. Keep the

 

following points in mind when using this command:

 

• The SETVIEWS command deletes an aplet’s standard

 

Views menu options. If you want to use any of the

 

standard options on your reconfigured VIEWS menu,

 

you must include them in the configuration.

 

• When you invoke the SETVIEWS command, the

 

changes to an aplet’s VIEWS menu remain with the

 

aplet. You need to invoke the command on the aplet

 

again to change the VIEWS menu.
