Displaying Entries and Answers
When text is displayed, the TI-84 Plus screen can display a maximum of 8 lines with a 
maximum of 16 characters per line. If all lines of the display are full, text scrolls off the 
top of the display. If an expression on the home screen, the Y=editor (Chapter 3), or the 
program editor (Chapter16) is longer than one line, it wraps to the beginning of the next 
line. In numeric editors such as the window screen (Chapter3), a long expression scrolls 
to the right and left.
When an entry is executed on the home screen, the answer is displayed on the right side 
of the next line. 
The mode settings control the way the TI-84 Plus interprets expressions and displays 
answers.
If an answer, such as a list or matrix, is too long to display entirely on one line, an ellipsis 
(...) is displayed to the right or left. Press ~ and | to display the answer.
