To specify keys combined with any combination of the SHIFT, CTRL, and ALT keys, 
precede the key code with one or more of the following codes: 
Key
Code
 SHIFT + 
 CTRL ^ 
 ALT % 
 
To specify that any combination of SHIFT, CTRL, and ALT should be held down 
while several other keys are pressed, enclose the code for those keys in parenthe-
ses. For example, to specify to hold down SHIFT while E and C are pressed, use "+
(EC)". To specify to hold down SHIFT while E is pressed, followed by C without 
SHIFT, use "+EC". 
To specify repeating keys, use the form {key number}. You must put a space be-
tween key and number. For example, {LEFT 42} means press the LEFT ARROW 
key 42 times; {h 10} means press H 10 times.
Project Timer
 
This feature is primarily for professionals who bill their labor on an hourly basis. 
The timer Start/Stop button is located on the main Calculator screen, to the left of 
the Number Lock indicator. It looks like a Stop Watch. 
To Start the timer, click the timer button. The button will remain depressed until you 
click it again. Clicking the button a second time will stop the timer and print the re-
sult to tape. You can also start and stop the Project Timer from the File Menu on the 
main screen or from the Tray Menu. 
To set up you hourly rate, use the Set Billing Rate option from the Edit Menu or the 
Billing Function on the Time/Date Calculation screen. Once you set the Hourly 
Rate, it will remain in the system until the next time you change it.
