ADDING
To ADD a group of numbers you must first mark > $1,111.11
the area to be summed. Only one number per <555.55>
line should appear in the marked area. In the 3,333.33
example to the right, place the cursor to the <666.66>
right of the '>' character and press CtrlB. <444.44>
Place the cursor to the left of the '<' and 2,222.22
press CtrlB again. The area to be summed is 7,777.77
now marked. Now hold down the Ctrl key and 8,888.88 <
press 'A'. Note that the answer is placed in
an inserted line below the last number to be
summed.
It is not necessary for the numbers to be aligned. For example, you
could have positive numbers to the left and negative numbers to the
right.
Press the PgDn Key
You may use the minus sign if you prefer to indicate negative numbers.
If the default monetary symbol is found in any number, it will appear
in the answer. If the default thousands separator is found in any
number and the result is greater than 999, it will be used in the
answer. If it is not encountered in any number, it will not be used
in the answer. Similarly, the default symbol used to separate the
whole number from the fractional part will not appear in the result
if it was not encountered in any of the numbers defined in the sum.
Mark the block to the right as you did > 111.111
above with CtrlB's. If you do not 222.222

Press F7 for Blocked area functions. 444.444
From this menu you can either press F8 or -555.555 <
Ctrl A to perform the sum.

CHANGING THE DEFAULT SUM CHARACTERS
(Read the following BEFORE trying it.)
By pressing F8, the Miscellaneous key, you will see that defaults can
be modified by pressing F2. When you do this you will be presented

of defaults, all you have to do is press the Esc key.
Now press F8, then F2, look at the Menu and then press the Esc key.
Toward the bottom of the menu, the field "Default Sum Characters"
is visible. This time when you go to the menu, Tab (or Shift Tab) to
this field and press F10. (NOTE: you should answer NO to the question
"Save Modifications" when you escape from the menu panel this time.)
After pressing F10, AltG will let you select new default characters.
