Status area
I
The status area displays annimciators, the current directory path, and
messages. It also displays various alerts.
Annimciators indicate the settings you have selected, certain keys you
have pressed, and the status of the calculator. The full set of annunciators
is given in table 2.1.
By default, the status area takes up two lines. You can reduce this to one
line, or choose not to display the status area. You might do this to see
more of your history area. See “Display modes” on page 2-19 for
information on changing the size of the status area.
