If you assign a program to a shift key and there is no :(HOLD) function on that key, the
standard function will be executed by pressing the
:(HOLD) option of that key. This way
you still have the option of using the standard shifted function of the key should you need it.

Reassigning Menu Functions
Often, the best use for a program is to bring a function you use frequently out onto the
keyboard. For example, if you use SIN frequently, you may want to have ASIN available
directly on the keyboard as well. Having the ability to assign keys permits you to do this easily.
Table 13-3 below illustrates how to reassign a menu function to the keyboard.
