Summary of Equation Operations

All equations you create are saved in the equation list. This list is visible whenever
you activate Equation mode.

You use certain keys to perform operations involving equations. They're described
in more detail later.

Key

| H

Enters and leaves Equation mode.

‘

Evaluates the displayed equation. If the equation is an
assignment

, evaluates the right–hand side and stores the

š

Steps up or down through the equation list.

{j

Goes to the top line of the equation or program list.

{h

Goes to the last line of the equation or program list.

| 

Shows the displayed equation's checksum (verification
