Hi, Matt;

I'll try to 'brief' the answer, right?

Each directory may contain a 'custom' definition for the six "softkeys". This definiton is actually a list stored in a variable that must be named CST (for CuSTom) and the list must contain as many objects as you want for the keys. Each set of six sequenced definitions compose a "page", and each page is accessed through the [NXT] (next) key. For instance, in your case, you can store the list

{ ->HMS HMS-> HMS+ HMS- }
in variable
CST
while your calculator is positioned in the root directory. After that, pressing [CST] will cause these four functions to be assigned to the first four softkeys, left to righ. The other two will be assigned to nothing.

You can follow the same procedure while you position the calculator in other directories, and so having "local" custom definitiosn.

This is the visible part of the iceberg. There's a lot of extra functionality in CuSTom... just let us know if you'd like some more.

Cheers.
