- 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.
-
