The sequences beginning with "\" are translated by the calculator while
transferring data from a computer (or whatever's on the other end of the serial
connect) to the calculator.  \178 is ASCII character 178.  \v/ is the
calculator's square root sign.  \.d is the delta (for differentiation).

"!" is just the new name for "FACT".  FACT(6) on the HP-28 is 6! on the 48. 
OBJ-> is a combination of STR->, ARRY->, LIST->, et cetera -- it takes whatever
object you give it and takes it apart in some way.
