About the history area
The history area displays up to eight entry/answer pairs, depending on the complexity
and height of the expressions. When the display is filled, information scrolls off the top of
the screen. Use the history area to:
• Review previous entries and answers. Use the cursor keys to view entries and
answers that have scrolled off the screen.
• Recall or auto-paste a previous entry or answer onto the entry line to reuse or edit.
(For more information, see the electronic Operating the Calculator chapter.)
The cursor, which normally rests on the entry line, can be moved into the history area.
