INDEX OF OPERATIONS
All commands available are found below with their names and keystrokes necessary.
Names printed in bold face in this list belong to functions directly accessible on the key-
board, the other commands may be picked from catalogs. The command names will
show up identically catalogs and in program listings unless specified otherwise explicite-
ly. Sorting in index and catalogs is case insensitive and works in the following order:

Super- and subscripts are handled like normal characters in sorting. The fifth last item in
the sorting order list above is the indicator for the angular mode GRAD.
Generally, functions and keystroke programming will work as on HP-42S, bit and integer
functions as on HP-16C, unless stated otherwise under remarks. Especially, all tests will

vintage calculators mentioned for additional information about traditional commands.
Functions available on the WP 34S for the first time on an RPN calculator are high-
lighted yellow under remarks, while operations carrying a familiar name but deviating in
their functionality here are marked light red.
Parameters will be taken from the lowest stack level(s) unless mentioned explicitly in
the 2

column  then they must follow the command. If underlined, they may also be
specified using indirect addressing, as shown in the tables above. Some parameters of
statistical distributions must be given in registers J and K if specified.
