Ernst,

*GET,result,ACTIVE,0,REAL

will return the Active real constant set.

See *GET in the help under ACTIVE for more of these.

I suppose this could be put into the toolbar.

Oddly enough I've never bothered to do this myself and
I share your sentiments.

In addition to wondering which is the current active ????
it can be quite a chore keeping track of what all these
magic numbers mean. It is especially difficult to check
items that don't plot in a visible way.

IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE USER TO CONFIRM
THE ACCURACY AND USEFULNESS OF THE RESULTS.

I'm very glad to hear about the HTML reporting tool.
