Checking and Changing Matrix Elements Individually

The calculator provides two ways to check (recall) and change (store) the value of a particular matrix element. The first method uses storage registers R0 and R1 in the same way as described above – except that the row and column numbers aren't automatically changed when User mode is deactivated. The second method uses the stack to define the row and column numbers.
