Creating variables
The simplest way to create a variable is by using the K. The following
examples are used to store the variables listed in the following table (Press
J if needed to see variables menu):

. AT this point, the screen will look as follows:
Press ` to create the variable. The variable is now shown in the soft
menu key labels when you press
