-Returns the number of items present on the stack before executing the command.
+The ''DEPTH'' command puts on the level 1 of the stack the number of elements present on it before executing the command itself.
+When the stack is in RPN mode ''DEPTH'' always returns ''4'' or ''8'', depending on the selected stack depth.

-This command is fully compatible with userRPL.
