During program execution, the user assigns (and edits, as
necessary) numerical values to each item. To assign a value,
enter the value using the number keys, and then press b
or #.
Long values do not wrap; they scroll off the screen, and an
ellipsis ( ) is displayed. Use " and ! to scroll the whole

The menu title is enclosed in quotation marks (
" "
) and can
have up to 16 characters. Up to seven menu items (also
enclosed in quotation marks) follow. During program
execution, the menu displays the first 10 characters of item.
Each item needs a corresponding variable where the entered
value is stored.
The values you enter for the variables (assigned to the menu
items) are stored in the calculator’s memory. Also, if you
assign to a menu item a variable that has been previously
defined in the calculator’s memory, that value displays when
you first execute the program.
Press - l to exit the menu and end program execution.
