Think DOCUMENTS!
Whenever you work on this calculator, you are "designing" (or editing) a document.
To create a new document, press and hold  - the letter N
or
 , #1 File, #1 New Document and your choice of "applications" will appear.
Each time you use the calculator you are creating a document with problems (chapters) and pages. When you start an application, a "tab" will appear at the top of the screen telling you which "problem" and "page" (1.1) of your document is open. As you create more pages, the number of tabs will increase. This screen shows tab 1.1 meaning problem one, page one.
You will continue adding pages to a problem, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, ... , until you tell the calculator to move on to problem 2.1.

Each document can consist of up to
30 "problems" and each problem
can
have at most 50 "pages". |
