Inputting and Editing eActivity File Data
  u  Inputting and Editing Text Line Contents
  • You can input up to 255 bytes of text into a text line. Text in the text line wraps 
automatically to fi t inside the display area (Word Wrap Function). Note, however, that 
numeric expressions and commands do not wrap.*

 A word running off the side of the 
display is indicated by an arrow indicator (] ' ). You can use the left and right cursor keys 
to scroll the screen to view what is not visible. In this case, you can use the left and right 
cursor keys to scroll the text. 
  • The 5 (A ↔  a) function key toggles between upper-case and lower-case input. This 
function is available only during alpha input (page 1-1-3). The text line cursor is “
” while 
upper-case input is selected, and “ ” during lower-case input. 
  • You can input a carriage return into a text line by pressing w . Note that there is no 
return display symbol. 
  • If the text is wrapped into multiple lines, pressing the A key will delete the line where 
the cursor is currently located only. The part of the text that is wrapped to other lines will 
not be deleted.
  
  k  Using Math Lines 
  A math line lets you input a calculation into an eActivity fi le, and then perform the same 
calculations you use in the  RUN 
  • 
  MAT  mode while “Math” is selected as the Input Mode. 
Math lines always have two parts: an input expression and a result. 
  eActivity calculations are different from  RUN 
  • 
  MAT  mode calculations as described below. 
  • When you input a mathematical expression into an eActivity, the Input Mode (page 
1-3-10) always changes to “Math”, regardless of the calculator’s current input mode 
setting. 
Note that the word wrap function does not apply in the case of math lines. Arrow 
indicators (] ' ) will appear on the left and right sides of the math line to let you know 
some of the calculation does not fi t within the math line display area. In this case, you can 
use the left and right cursor keys to scroll the calculation. 
  • You can input stop lines in an eActivity.

Also, any word that includes the symbol “'”, 
“{” or “10”, which are input using the menu 
that appears when you press 4(CHAR), 
does not wrap.
# When you input a mathematical expression 
into a text line, the Input Mode (page 1-3-10) 
always changes to “Math”, regardless of the 
calculator’s current input mode setting.
  # Pressing 6 (g )4 (MATH) displays the MATH 
submenu. You can use this menu for natural 
input of matrices, differentials, integrals, etc. For 
details about input using the MATH menu, see 
“Using the MATH Menu” (page 1-3-12).
  # Any mathematical expression you input into a 
text line is non-executable.
