aplet A small application, limited to one
topic. The built-in aplet types are
Function, Parametric, Polar,
Sequence, Solve, Statistics,
Inference, Finance, Trig Explorer,
Quad Explorer, Linear Explorer and
Triangle Solve. An aplet can be filled
with the data and solutions for a
specific problem. It is reusable (like a
program, but easier to use) and it
records all your settings and
definitions.

Commands can store results in
variables, but do not display results.
Arguments are separated by semi-
colons, such as DISP
expression;line#.
expression A number, variable, or algebraic
expression (numbers plus functions)
that produces a value.
function An operation, possibly with

does not store results in variables. The

parentheses and separated with
commas (or periods in Comma
mode), such as
CROSS(matrix1,matrix2).
