var key HP50
Hi Everyone
Question: How can I get the back to the original menu boxes: EDIT VIEW STACK RCL PURGE CLEAR
I accidentally pressed the VAR key in RPN mode.
My menu boxes at the bottom of the screen changed to PPAR ODETY CASDI

I tried pressing VAR key again but did not work and also ON (CANCEL) key
The only way I could get back to the original menu was a warm reboot (ON + F3)
and this wipes everything from the stack.
There must be another way. I only have the calculator 3 days so I am a novice.
The ROM version is 2.15 which is the latest (I think)
Thanks for your time.

Don't worry, this doesn't change the environment. The VARS you have access to are based on the directory shown in the 2nd line on the top-left of the screen in {} brackets. The choose boxes you have displayed at any time are not critical. You will be navigating through many of them a lot as you use the calc. There is no default, and no "home setting" except for the home directory.
