Function Names in Programs

Then name of function that is used in a program line is not necessarily the
same as the function's name on its key, in its menu, or in an equation. The
name that is used in a program is usually a fuller abbreviation than that which
can fit on a key or in a menu. This fuller name appears briefly in the display
whenever you execute a function — as long as you hold down the key, the
name is displayed.

Example:

Entering a Labeled Program.

The following keystrokes delete the previous program for the area of a circle
and enter a new one that includes a label and a return instruction. If you make
a mistake during entry, press

a

to delete the current program line, then

reenter the line correctly.
