Reassigning Menu Functions
Often, the best use for a program is to bring a function you use frequently out onto the
keyboard. For example, if you use SIN frequently, you may want to have ASIN available
directly on the keyboard as well. Having the ability to assign keys permits you to do this easily.
Table 13-3 below illustrates how to reassign a menu function to the keyboard.
