Alright, I've just spent about three hours trying to figure out how to do a simple Rectangular to Polar coordinate conversion (used to be R>P on the old calculators). I still haven't figured it out!
I've figured out how to change the display mode for "complex numbers" and to enter an r,theta or an x,y, but how can I build a complex number from an x,y in the display stack?
Do I have to write freeking programs to make the conversions? Can programs be assigned to keys?
What a POS.

P.S. Who's the moron who caused all this national calculator policy crap in the first place? I sure hope he was tarred and feathered.
