i.e. press and hold alpha C R D I R enter

More keystrokes sometimes but much faster and no need to remember which menu the command is buried in.

I've done this all the way back to the 28S (where it was even easier due to the double keyboard).

That's a great tip. I did it once on some command, can't recall the one. I tried it now across several and you're right... it's faster and less mentally straining when switching between two devices.

That poses a design question -- a CLI calculator? It's funny how things come around.
