Equations or Programs for HP Calculators? 1

[LJP1]

I used to use an HP41C calculator years ago. I am now studying to take PE and dusting off my RPN skills with a HP35S (NCEES approved). Can anyone tell me the pros/cons of using equations versus programs; when best to use either method? Also, does anyone have a good resource of POWER equations and/or programs in RPN format? Maybe PDF posted somewhere?

Thanks in advance.
