Here is RCLND, a program that RCL's the number of digits the current
display mode is set to.

%%HP: T(3)A(R)F(.);
DIR
 RCLND
   \<< 0 -48 -45 FOR J 2 * J FS? + NEXT \>>
END


As written, it returns a value between 0 and 15.  (If only STD, ENG, FIX,
and SCI were used to set/clear flags -45 thru -48, then only values in the
range of 0..11 will be returned.)  You can add tests for -49 and -50 if you
want to know whether it is STD, FIX, SCI or ENG.

Hope someone finds it useful.
