„

If the program line doesn't contain an equation,

b

deletes the current

program line. It backspaces if a digit is being entered ("_" cursor present).

„

If the program line contains an equation,

b

begins editing the equation. It

deletes the rightmost function or variable if an equation is being entered ("¾"
cursor present).

„

{} deletes a program line if it contains an equation.

„

To program a function to clear the X–register, use

{ c

{º}.
