That is something that allows me to enter a 3X3 (or greater) whilst other Calculators will have you fiddling around with all sorts of key presses. ...

Keyboard shortcut: Only the first pair of square brackets are required when keying a matrix onto the command line. That is to say, you can key your 3×3 example this way, using the arrow key between 3 and 4:

[[ 1 2 3 ] 4 5 6 7 8 9 ENTER

Saves a few keystrokes.

Oh great thank you very much for that.. will help me speed up a little ) I cannot think of any other calculator on the planet (outside 48/49/50) that allows entry so rapidly.

I should have mentioned that this input method can also be used to enter numbers on the stack ( assume that's where they go) (by separating values by spaces and operations performed on them without having to use the enter key... that was something else I believe I picked up from the 48S manual.
