HP 40gs - Manual (Page 379)

Programming 21-31
Storing and retrieving variables in programs
The HP 40gs has both Home variables and Aplet
variables. Home variables are used for real numbers,
complex numbers, graphics, lists, and matrices. Home
variables keep the same values in HOME and in aplets.
Aplet variables are those whose values depend on the
current aplet. The aplet variables are used in
programming to emulate the definitions and settings you
make when working with aplets interactively.
You use the Variable menu ( ) to retrieve either
Home variables or aplet variables. See “The VARS menu”
on page 17-4. Not all variables are available in every
aplet. S1fit–S5fit, for example, are only available in the
Statistics aplet. Under each variable name is a list of the
aplets where the variable can be used.
Plot-view variables

or
In a program, type:
1 X Axes—to turn axes on (default).
0 X Axes—to turn axes off.

Statistics Draws lines between successively plotted points.
From Plot Setup, check (or uncheck) CONNECT.
or
In a program, type
1 X Connect—to connect plotted points (default,
except in Statistics where the default is off).
0
X Connect—not to connect plotted points.
