Using Short-Cut Keys
If there are procedures and setting which you used frequently, the two
keys can help you reduce calculation time.
In the previous example, we calculated the monthly repayment of my wife's car loan.
Suppose the financier always use this same set of values in calculating interest
except for the Principal (PV), i.e. Dys = 5 X 365 = 1825 days; I% = 3.3%
We can configure these values to
to calculate the monthly repayment using 'Ans÷60' (60 being 5 X 12 months.)
Enter SMPL mode and input 1825 and 3.3 to [Dys] and [I%] respectively.

With [PV] selected, key in the following.

is assigned with 'Ans÷60', and calculation steps for this example
become very much shorter.
