Programmable-Operations::

->LCD		put grob into LCD
c		speed of light constant
COMB		combinations
CRDIR		create directory
DGTIZ		activate interactive plot mode
HOME		move to home directory
LCD->		return LCD as a grob
MENU		select a built-in menu
PATH		returns current path
PERM		compute permutations
POS		less restrictive definition
VARS		return list of variables

Non-Programmable-Operations::

no +CMD

no +ML
no +UND
no -CMD
no -LAST
no -ML
no -UND
CMD		enable/disable LAST CMD mode
COMPLX		bring up menu
CONTRL		bring up menu
CUSTOM		custom menu
MENUS		toggles shifted and unshifted actions of A-R keys
ML		toggles multi-line display mode
ON + <- + ENTER, then S puts the machine into COMA mode (loses stack
		and halts timer, does not destroy memory)
ON + L		print screen
ON + NEXT	start keyboard test
no ON + v
no RDX.
RDX,		toggle radix
no SCAN
no STOP
UNDO		toggle undo saving
\Ga		toggles entry mode from immediate to alpha to algebraic
shift \Ga	 toggles menu lock

Bugs/ROM-Versions::

2BB	first version

if you create a 256 x 256 matrix, you get memory lost

Notes::

Memory is now from an industry-standard chip instead of a -71B-type
chip.  A "Power Lost" message has been added.  The battery compartment
is lined with foam.  The display has non-glare glass.  One-key
operators are now entered into programs with spaces around them.  The
definitions of some units have been adjusted.  Program and variable
printing has been cleaned up and improved.

A special version was produced celebrating 100 years of the American
Mathematical Society.
