Notes and sketches
Introduction
The HP 40gs has text and picture editors for entering
notes and sketches.
•
Each aplet has its own independent Note view and
Sketch view . Notes and sketches that you create in
these views are associated with the aplet. When you
save the aplet, or send it to another calculator, the
notes and sketches are saved or sent as well.

The Notepad is a collection of notes independent of
all aplets. These notes can also be sent to another
calculator via the Notepad Catalog.
