Messages
The calculator responds to error conditions by displaying the annunciator.
Usually, a message will accompany the error annunciator as well.
To clear a message, press or ; in RPN mode, you will return to the
stack as it was before the error. In ALG mode, you will return to the last
expression with the edit cursor at the position of the error so that you can
correct it.
