SELECT REAL VARIABLE TO EDIT

var1 var2 var3 var4 <MORE>

var1, var2, etc., are global variable names. Press the soft button under the variable name to edit that variable. The <MORE> soft button is shown only when there are more than five global real variables in system memory. When a variable has been selected, the LCD will display:

var.name = xxx

CHANGE TRUE FALSE

(If the variable being edited is from an array, an additional soft button is displayed that allows you to specify the index of the variable to edit.)

Press the TRUE soft button to set the variable to the boolean value of true (–1). Press FALSE to set the variable to false (0). To change the value of the variable press the CHANGE soft button. The LCD displays:

var.name = _

CHANGE TRUE FALSE

The typing cursor replaces the variable value. Use the data entry buttons to input a new value, and complete the entry by pressing REC/DONE.
