You can also enter a list into the Home screen without storing it in a stat list.
Naming a List
If you name a list, then you can save it for later use. To name a list, highlight the
name of any list, for example
L
1
,
L
2
, and so on, and press
[INS]
. A new list
will appear to the left of the list you highlighted. Enter a name for the list, for
example,
YEAR
. (The flashing
A
tells you that you are in Alpha mode, so unless
you want to enter a number as part of the name, you can just enter the list
name.) Press
and you will see that the list now has a name.
Resetting a List

L
1
through
L
6
are displayed, press
and select
5:SetUpEditor

calculator’s memory and you will still be able to recall a named list with its
stored data.

its data but cannot be used until it is enabled. To enable an archived list, press
