Editing an Element of a Attached-Formula List
As described above, one way to detach a formula from a list name is to edit an element of
the attached-formula list. The TI
-
86 protects against inadvertently detaching the formula
from the list name when you move the cursor onto one of the elements.
Because of the protection feature, you must press
b
before you can edit an element of
an attached-formula list. The protection feature prevents you from deleting an element of an
attached-formula list. To delete an element of a attached-formula list, you must first detach
the formula in any of the ways described above.
