reuse any expression that is in history. You can also
retrieve and reuse any result that is in history.
To retrieve an expression and place it on the entry line for
editing, either:

tap twice on it, or

use the cursor keys to highlight the expression and
then either tap on it or tap

.

To retrieve a result and place it on the entry line, use the
cursor keys to highlight it and then tap

If the expression or result you want is not showing, press

repeatedly to step through the entries and reveal those

that are not showing. You can also swipe the screen to
quickly scroll through history.

most recent entry.

quickly choose the one you want.
