A89: Re: Calculator Crashes




There is a key stroke combination listed in the manual that you can use to
reset a locked calculator... You take one battery out for 5 seconds and when
you put it back in you hold (ithink this is right) "(_)"+"(". That should
work for any future lock ups....

BTW... Dave, have you got any farther on the rom?
