Yes, it is fixed. I just tried it out on a Rev. E machine, serial
number 3041A00894, that I got last week from EduCALC. My Rev. A
machine has it, of course. 

Speaking of new versions, the manuals are dated 7/90; I guess they
must have fixed some typos there as well. The carrying case they are
shipping now has a zipper; mine has a velcroed flap. The tiny rubber
feet in the Rev. E have little dimples, for better traction I guess.
