6.5.1.4 Navigating Long Lists of Data
When dealing with answers that generate long lists of data, the TI-84 sometimes
goes into a special mode that versions prior to 2.0 could not read correctly.
Version 2.0 has added a method to help walk through those long lists of data. If
you get a long list of data surrounded by brackets, you only need to move left
and right using the TI-84 arrow keys (below the screen). Because the screen
does not have a cursor, it is difficult to get the information and therefore acts a
little different than other screens. As you move right and left, Orion TI-84 Plus
announces the number and the index value of the number. Between the numbers
it clicks letting you know you are not yet on a number. Sometimes there are
multiple clicks between the numbers.
