Full Command and Function Reference 3-69
Normally, the stack display is updated as soon as the calculator is ready for data input. For
example, when HALT stops a running program, or when a program ends, any displayed
messages are cleared. The FREEZE command “freezes” a part or all of the display so that it is
not updated until a key is pressed. This allows, for example, a prompting message to persist after
a program halts to await data input.
n
display area
is the sum of the value codes for the areas to be frozen:
Display Area Value Code
Status area 1
History/Stack/Command-line area 2
Menu area 4
So, for example, 2 FREEZE freezes the history/stack/command-line area, 3 FREEZE freezes
the status area and the history/stack/command-line area, and 7 FREEZE freezes all three areas.
Values of n
display area
≥ 7 or ≤ 0 freeze the entire display (are equivalent to value 7). To freeze the
graphics display, you must freeze the status and stack/command-line areas (by entering 3), or the
entire display (by entering 7).
