Keys and display

the display may work in a different manner to other modes. The differences
are described below.
• Press i (the f key) to directly access the command menu for
programming. The Filing Equation function does not work in PROG mode.
• While entering a program name, keys are locked in ALPHA mode (A-
LOCK) automatically.

are counted as a single letter. As you type in a line, the text will scroll to
the left. Lines do not wrap in the PROG mode.

program under this name as you create it. You do not have to save the
program manually.
