data value, press Í.When you are finished entering the data, press

Naming a List
If you name a list, then you can save it for later use. To name a list, highlight the
name of any list, for example L1, L2, and so on, and press y 6. A new list
will appear to the left of the list you highlighted. Enter a name for the list, for
example, YEAR. (The flashing A tells you that you are in Alpha mode, so unless
you want to enter a number as part of the name, you can just enter the list
name.) Press Í and you will see that the list now has a name.
