Using local variables

Nine local variables can be used in each equation or program, in addition to
the global variables. Unlike global variables, the values of the local variables
will be stored with the equation when you save it using the filing equations
function. (See page 58.)
To use local variables, you first have to assign the name of the local variable
using two characters: the first character must be a letter from A to Z or θ and
the second must be a number from 0 to 9.
