What's the simplest way to get the calculator to display some text when I need it to do so?

You can also do Output(y,x,text) if you want to control location. Damn....I miss coding up stuff in math class

Output(y,x,"text")
else it'll call the values from the letter matrix/archive instead of showing a word.

You have to use the top function keys to sort through the list and pick it out. Its something like F1 then More a couple times and then F5. And I think its only in the context sensitive menu to the programming screen.
I had a couple friends who wanted me to program their 86s and I hated every minute of it. 83 was much easier.

I can't find it in the menus. Here is what I have:
F1: Page Up
F2: Page Down
F3: I/O
F4: CTL
F5: INSc (arrow pointing right)
F5 is something called INSc with an arrow pointing to the right of it, but when I press F5 nothing happens.

Try pushing MORE which is near the arrow keys. Might try F1 or F2. Its been like 10 years so I barely remember.
