The HP 40gs has both Home variables and Aplet
variables. Home variables are used for real numbers,
complex numbers, graphics, lists, and matrices. Home
variables keep the same values in HOME and in aplets.
Aplet variables are those whose values depend on the
current aplet. The aplet variables are used in
programming to emulate the definitions and settings you
make when working with aplets interactively.
You use the Variable menu (
Home variables or aplet variables. See "The VARS menu"
on page 17-4. Not all variables are available in every
aplet. S1fit–S5fit, for example, are only available in the
