Actually, AFAIK in most implementations of RPG it would be
2-(enter)-3-(+).
No equal sign, or final enter, is needed ( the + auto-does it ). If you
are
used to RPG, there is a TIBASIC program out there that
somewhat-transforms
the 85 into an RPG calculator, but the only really common calcs to use
RPG
are the -shudder- HPs.
RPG does use a stack.

Okay. RPG stands for Role Playing Game, as in the Final Fantasy series
of Nintendo games. What y'all are talking about is RPN. It is entered
3, ENTER, 2, + for 3+2.
