Calculator
The Calculator includes several buttons to help you perform 
calculations.
Clears the last number you entered. Use this button if 
you make a mistake while entering a number in the 
middle of a calculation. This button enables you to re-
enter the number without starting the calculation over.
Clears the entire calculation and enables you to begin 
a fresh calculation.
Toggles the current number between a negative and 
positive value. If you want to enter a negative number, 
enter the number first and then press
 the +/- button.
Places the current number in memory. Each new 
number you enter with the M+ button is added to the 
total
 already stored in memory. The number that you 
add can be either a calculated value or any number you 
enter by pressing the number buttons. Pressing this 
button has no effect on the current calculation (or 
series of calculations); it merely places the value into 
memory until it is recalled.

the current calculation.
Clears any value that is stored in the Calculator 
memory.

more Palm OS

communications. An indirect method is using a modem. 
This chapter describes how to select HotSync options and perform a 
HotSync operation via infrared communications or a modem. See 
“Exchanging and updating data: HotSync operations” in Chapter 4 
for information about performing your first and subsequent local 
HotSync operations.
