Shifted keystrokes
There are two shift keys that you use to access the operations
and characters printed above the keys:>6+,)7@ and >$/3+$@.
HELPWITH The HP 39G built-in help is available in HOME only. It
provides syntax help for built-in math functions.
Access the HELPWITH command by pressing >6+, )7@
SYNTAX
and then the math key for which you require syntax help.
Example Press>6+,)7@
SYNTAX
>[@ >(17(5@
Note: Remove the left parenthesis from built-in
commands such as sine, cosine, and tangent before
invoking the HELPWITH command.
Key Description
>6+,)7@ Press the >6+,)7@ key to access the
operations printed in blue above the
keys. For instance, to access the Modes
