CREATING A NEW PROGRAM

1. The Basic keyboard can only execute a program. Use the Advanced Keyboard to enter and check the program. 2. Turn the calculator on and press PRGM to enter the programming menu. The menu consists of commands to execute, edit, and create new programs. 3. Press C (NEW) and ENTER to open a new program. The calculator is now locked in ALPHA mode and is prepared to accept a name for the new program. Enter the program name. 4. You can now enter the program. All program commands are obtained in the program menu. You cannot type program commands using the ALPHA key. To reach this menu, press PRGM . All the program commands begin with an uppercase letter. 5. Press CL to exit the program commands. When entering a new program, you must press ENTER at the end of each line. 6. If you make a mistake entering a program, use the calculator's editing feature to correct the error. First, you can press the arrow keys to move around the program. Second, you can use the DEL key which deletes a highlighted item, the BS key which backspace deletes an item, and the 2ndF INS keys which allow you to insert new items. Third, the calculator operates in typeover mode which allows you to simply type over a mistake. You must press ENTER after correcting a mistake for the correction to be saved for future use.
