In the custom menus I find this option:
Program line    1: Normal
                        2: Hi speed
                        3: Depth
                        4: MTF
Is this what you are referring to? Directly switching between those modes.

This raises another question. Is it impossible to make exposure compensation
in Hyper mode? That's one big limitation, if that's the case.

Program Shift allows you to scroll through a series of different 
Aperture/Shutter combinations of equivalent exposure. I use it all the 
time on my D50, F601m and Rebel XS.

The combination of Program shift (Allowing me to scroll to a desired 
aperture or shutter) and exposure compensation is more useful than the 
admittedly cool HyperProgram, as I can easily select for aperture and 
shutter while getting faster exposure compensation adjustment. 
HyperProgram is far better for selecting a desired aperture or shutter 
speed for multiple shots.

I am wondering if the HyperProgram configuration will allow the custom 
functions regarding the second wheel to come into effect when dropping 
into Av or Tv mode, or whether the differing wheels will always be 
Av/Tv. Using the wheel to drop into Av or Tv mode and then the other 
wheel setting exposure compensation (like you can configure for when Av 
and Tv are set on the dial) would be more useful for me than the ability 
to instantly switch between Av and Tv modes. I certainly wouldn't mind 
having ot go back to the main program line before switching into the 
other priority mode.
