Jean-Yves is saying the 48-series didn't have Choose Boxes. In other words, flag -117 wasn't available on the 48-series. This option didn't come on the scene until the 49-series (along with new flags 64 to128). As J-Y said, HP's Equation Library didn't come back until ROM ~2.0. Therefore, the EQ lib and flag -117 (Soft menus vs. Choose boxes) didn't become an issue until a year or so ago. Clear as mud? mk

Rob seems to be suggesting that it might benefit 50G sales if no one else experienced any "hiccups" trying to use it on 50G, even if they neglected to have scoured the manual to find relief.
