Part 4: Text

1. Remarks may be entered on the worksheet by starting a line with the # symbol. Check this by entering
   # This is just a remark.
   Nothing that appears on a line after the # symbol has any effect on the calculation. Remark lines do not have to have a semicolon at the end. But if you continue a remark to a second line, that line must begin with # as well.
2. In addition to remarks, you may enter text as you would in any word processor. Use RETURN to create a new region, if necessary, and click on the T button at the top of the screen (or press the F5 key). Then type some text -- your name, for example. Notice that the characters are a different color and font, and the input prompt [> is gone. This is a text line. If you press RETURN, you obtain another text line. Type text on this line as well.
3. Now, click on the button next to T that looks like an input prompt, [>. Type
   5.3*7.1;
   and then RETURN. You're back to normal "math" input.
