No prob., Randolph, I didn't go into much detail because that was the
second or third posting on the same subject that I did on that day.  TO
go into further detail, which I can do since its Friday.

To get the version of your HP:
Press ON and D at the same time.  
  This puts you into self-test mode
  whihc gives you a screen with 3 vertical lines, one on each end and one
in the center.
  Further info on Self-Test is found in the 2nd manual.
Press the delete key (the one with the drop and clear commands)
  This puts you into memory-scanner mode
  At the top is a 5 number binary which indicates where you are in the
memory, followed by a colon and the info stored beginning at that
address.  Further info on mem-scanner is found in several postings on
c.s.h. including Alonzo's Notes which I posted recently.
Now, press EVAL to get 
Version HP48-X 
Copyright..
whwre X is you rversion number (A-E)
And now, just press ON and C at the same time to return to normal
operations.
