Accessing Stack Register Contents

The values held in the four stack registers, X, Y, Z and T, are accessible in RPN
mode in an equation or program using the REGX, REGY, REGZ and REGT
commands.

To use these instructions, press

d

first. Then, pressing

<

produces a menu in

the display showing the X–, Y–, Z–, T–registers. Pressing

Õ

or

Ö

will move the

underline symbol, indicating which register is presently selected. Pressing

will place an instruction into a program or equation that recalls the value of the
chosen stack register for further use. These are displayed as REGX, REGY, REGZ,
and REGT.

For example, a program line entered by first pressing

d

and then entering the

instructions REGX x REGY x REGZ x REGT will compute the product of the values in
the 4 stack registers and place the result into the X-register. It will leave the previous
values of X, Y, and Z in the stack registers Y, Z, and T.

Many such efficient uses of values in the stack are possible in this manner that
would not otherwise be available on the HP35s.
