I don't recall hearing the distinction between apps and systems 
Hungarian back then.

No, I more or less avoided RPN, my maths teacher did have one of those 
HP programmable calculators with the magstripe reader. He was the same 
chap who got me into 6502 machines by buying the school's first PET.

I don't know where I picked up the "reverse" from, maybe that szName was 
the opposite of BASIC's type suffixes NAME$ in the same way Hungarian 
personal/family names are reversed, or maybe from somewhere like .EXE 
magazine?
