Clearing Numbers
Clearing One Number. Clearing the X-register puts a zero in it. The
next number you key in (or recall) writes over this zero.
There are two ways to clear the number in the X-register:
Press
<
.
Press
C
.
For example, if you wanted to enter 1 and 3 but mistakenly entered 1
and 2, these keystrokes would correct it:
1

Clearing the Entire Stack. Pressing
@c
clears the X-register to
zero and eliminates the Y-, Z-, and T-registers (reducing the size of the
stack to one register). The stack expands again when you enter more
numbers.
