Sturm; Sturmab; Subst - HP 48gII Advanced User's Reference Manual

Description: Stores a name or list of names in the current CAS variable. This is the same as storing into the
VX variable in the CASDIR directory. By default, the CAS variable is called X; this command
allows a program to change that name.
Catalog, ...µ
Access:
Input: Level 1/Argument 1: A name or list of names.
Output: None in RPN mode, NOVAL in Algebraic mode.
