Shifted keystrokes

There are two shift keys that you use to access the operations and characters printed above the keys:>6+,)7@ and >$/3+$@.

Key	Description
>6+,)7@	Press the >6+,)7@ key to access the
	operations printed in blue above the
	keys. For instance, to access the Modes
	screen, press >6+,)7@, then press >+20(@.
	(MODES is labelled in blue above the
	>+20(@ key). You do not need to hold
	down >6+,)7@ when you press HOME.
	This action is depicted in this manual as
	“press >6+,)7@MODES.”
	To cancel a shift, press >6+,)7@ again.
>$/3+$@	The alphabetic keys are also shifted
	keystrokes. For instance, to type Z, press
	>$/3+$@Z. (The letters are printed in
	orange to the lower right of each key.)
	To cancel Alpha, press >$/3+$@ again.
	For a lower case letter, press
	>6+,)7@>$/3+$@.
	For a string of letters, hold down
	>$/3+$@ while typing.

HELPWITH	The HP 39G built-in help is available in HOME only. It
	provides syntax help for built-in math functions.

	and then the math key for which you require syntax help.
