Reviewing the Stack
R
(Roll Down)
The
<
(roll down) key lets you review the entire contents of the stack by
"rolling" the contents downward, one register at a time. You can see each
number when it enters the X–register.
Suppose the stack is filled with 1, 2, 3, 4. (press 1

Pressing
<
four times rolls the numbers all the way around and back to where
they started:
T

4 3 2 1
Z

1 4 3 2
Y

2 1

X

3 2 1 4
What was in the X–register rotates into the T–register, the contents of the T–register
rotate into the Z–register, etc. Notice that only the contents of the registers are
rolled — the registers themselves maintain their positions, and only the X– and
Y–register's contents are displayed.
R
(Roll Up)
The
º
;
(roll up) key has a similar function to
<
except that it "rolls" the
stack contents upward, one register at a time.
The contents of the X–register rotate into the Y–register; what was in the T–register
rotates into the X–register, and so on.
