Displaying Information without Stopping

Normally, a program stops when it displays a variable with VIEW or displays
an equation message. You normally have to press

f

to resume execution.

If you want, you can make the program continue while the information is
displayed. If the next program line — after a VIEW instruction or a viewed
equation — contains a PSE (pause) instruction, the information is displayed
and execution continues after a 1–second pause. In this case, no scrolling or
keyboard input is allowed.

The display is cleared by other display operations, and by the RND operation
if flag 7 is set (rounding to a fraction).

Press

{

e

to enter PSE in a program.

The VIEW and PSE lines–or the equation and PSE lines — are treated as one
operation when you execute a program one line at a time.
