Input forms

Reset input form values

An input form shows several fields of information for you to examine and specify. After highlighting the field to edit, you can enter or edit a number (or expression). You can also select options from a list (&+226a). Some input forms include items to check (_￿&+.a). See below for an example of an input form.

To reset a default field value in an input form, move the cursor to that field and press >'(/@. To reset all default field values in the input form, press >6+,)7@CLEAR.

Mode settings

You use the Modes input form to set the modes for HOME.

H I N T Although the numeric setting in Modes affects only HOME, the angle setting controls HOME and the current aplet. The angle setting selected in Modes is the angle setting used in both HOME and current aplet. To further configure an aplet, you use the SETUP keys (>6+,)7@>3/27@ and >6+,)7@>180@).

Press >6+,)7@MODES to access the HOME MODES input form.
