 The ''USER'' keyboard can generally remain active all the time //except// when I want to do ''statistics'' or calculate a ''natural logarithm''. Two easy sacrificed keys. Are there others I can do without for additional assignments to frequently used functions or modules? The ''USER'' keyboard can generally remain active all the time //except// when I want to do ''statistics'' or calculate a ''natural logarithm''.

 +I've noticed that it's possible to ''assign'' the ''16C'' command to the <key>'∑+'</key> key. 
 +
 +This allows a single key to be used both to trigger ''16C'' mode, and then to trigger input mode ''16NPT''.
 +
 +It means less hopping around.
 +
 +The <key>'∑+'</key> key is doing double duty but <key>'∑+'</key> <key>'∑+'</key> seems a little more user friendly than <key>'LN'</key><key>'∑+'</key> for inputting numbers.
