Extending aplets

Aplets are the application environments where you explore different classes of mathematical operations.

You can extend the capability of the HP 39gs in the following ways:

•Create new aplets, based on existing aplets, with specific configurations such as angle measure, graphical or tabular settings, and annotations.

•Transmit aplets between HP 39gs calculators via an infra red link.

•Download e-lessons (teaching aplets) from Hewlett-Packard’s Calculator web site.

•Program new aplets. See chapter 18, “Programming”, for further details.

Creating new aplets based on existing aplets

	You can create a new aplet based on an existing aplet.
	To create a new aplet, save an existing aplet under a new
	name, then modify the aplet to add the configurations
	and the functionality that you want.
	Information that defines an aplet is saved automatically
	as it is entered into the calculator.
	To keep as much memory available for storage as
	possible, delete any aplets you no longer need.
Example	This example demonstrates how to create a new aplet by
	saving a copy of the built-in Solve aplet. The new aplet is
	saved under the name “TRIANGLES” contains the
	formulas commonly used in calculations involving
	right-angled triangles.
