    <Hey, That's me!>
+I just purchased an old HP-38E financial calculator and have
+a few questions:
+
+    It came with zip documentation....  is HP pretty good about
+    supplying User's Manuals for their older stuff?  Anyone
+    willing to part with a manual, or willing to make copies of
+    some of the 38E specific stuff?
+
+    Hitting G-MEM shows p-08 r-20 (8 program steps and 20
+    registers).  Does this imply that they can be re-allocated
+    like the HP-41 series?  If so, how?  Seems like
+    programability implies a bit more useful address space.
+
+    How do you use the Delta-DAYS and DATE keys?
+
+    What is %T?  (This is probably a stoopid question, but what
+    the hey!)

Well, Ive figured out the memory and programming stuff (it
automatically converts registers to program steps at the rate of
1:7, for a maximum of 99 steps and a minimum of 7 registers.  I'd
still like to get some answers on the other three questions.
