Hp12C Message #1 Posted by Ruby on 5 Feb 2001, 4:33 p.m. HELP!! How do I reset the display (LCD) to show dollars and cents, carried out to 5 places? I know it's a simple procedure, but I can't remember what it is. Thank you....whoever you are... ;o)

Re: Hp12C Message #2 Posted by Gene on 5 Feb 2001, 5:05 p.m., in response to message #1 by Ruby By the way, the display won't show the dollar sign, if that's what you mean. Therefore, it can't show dollars and cents carried out to 5 places. It can show 5 places. It can show 2 places to mimic dollars and cents. But it can't really show both at the same time.

Re: Hp12C response Message #3 Posted by Ruby on 5 Feb 2001, 5:48 p.m., in response to message #2 by Gene I realize the Hp 12C doesn't show the $ sign! However it does calculate $ and cents showing 5 places after the decimal point! All I need to know is how to get back to that setting....."00.00000". I would be happy for 4 places after the decimal point, ie; "00.0000". Please..............? thank you.........

Press the yellow key then the digit key for the number of decimal places you want. It will show 0.00 if you press yellow shift 2 It will show 0.0000 if you press yellow shift 4 Good luck, Gene
