InpRiit Foniìs and
Lists
Although the HP 48 screen is small compared to a standard computer
screen,
it
is approximately
the size of
the
average “dialog box.”
Input
forms
are
the HP
48 equivalent of
these
dialog boxes.
Most of the HP 48’s applications have input forms associated with
them that make it easy to remember the information you need to
enter, and to set any options )mu want.
Input Forms
All input forms have a similar appearance. The figure below uses the
main input form from the PLOT application to illustrate the main
