HP CALC

HAVE HP CALC ALWAYS START IN DESIRED APPLICATION

95LX 100LX

As powerful as HP CALC is, I tend to use it mostly for simple arithmetic: Balancing checkbooks, adding up a page count for the next issue of The HP Palmtop Paper, etc. Because of this, I like to always start in the Arithmetic function.

ON THE HP 95LX

This is no problem on the 95LX. Whenever you quit HP CALC on the 95LX and start it back up, you start in the Calculator Arithmetic screen. In fact, you cannot configure the 95LX to come up in any other HP CALC application (TVM, Currency, etc.).

ON THE HP 100LX

You can configure HP CALC to come up in a particular application on the 100LX. In HP CALC press (MENU) Options Startup Application..., and the following screen is displayed:

Set Startup Application in HP Calc: Graphic

Highlight Arithmetic and press (F10) (OK). Set up this way, whenever you quit HP CALC and then go back to it, the Arithmetic function automatically comes up. Of course, you could have selected Currency or TVM to automatically come up.
