Command line operations

The command line is where you enter and edit conunands and objects.
The HP 49G provides numerous tools to assist you when working on the

conunand line. Some of these tools have their own key; others can be
selected from the command line editor’s Tool menu.

Activating the command line

The way you activate the command line depends on whether you intend to

create a new object or edit an existing object.

To create a new object, just start typing. The command line is activated as

soon as you start. (While you can create most objects from the conunand
line, many objects are best created using specific applications. For

example, it will usually be easier to create an expression using Equation

Writer, or a matrix using Matrix Writer.)

To edit an existing object on the command line, select the object from
history or from the stack and:

® in algebraic mode, press (ENTER)

® in RPN

mode, press EDIT.

Note that pressing

EDIT

in algebraic mode activates whatever application

is best suited to editing the type of object you selected, not the command
line editor. For example, if you selected an expression, pressing

EDIT

activates Equation Writer. To edit the object on the command line, you

must press
