How can my calc stay in "Degrees" mode instead of switching to "Radians"?

How can my calc stay in "Degrees" mode instead of switching to "Radians"?

2009-02-18 by benatzert

Dear HP50G-Group,

i have one problem and could'nt find a solution, yet.

I love to use my calc in exact-mode, but sometimes because of my
calculations (some real-number instead of fractions) i'm asked to
switch into approximation-mode. The mode itself is no problem, but it
allways changes my Angle-System from "Degrees" into "Radians" and i
have to change it back everytime. Because of the different Angle my
workaround at the moment is to change any real into a fraction...and
stay in exact-mode  but maybe there is just one little option i've
missed ;-)

It would greatly increase my workspeed if someone has a solution for me.

I think some of the internal functions use the radian 
mode only, so it switches whether you like it or not 
and there's not much you can do to prevent that.

You can assign a key (or create a custom menu) to 
toggle degree/radian back & forth. In either case, you 
can use something like the following code to do the 
toggle.

IF -17. FS?
THEN -17. CF
ELSE -17. SF
