Shortcut to toggle between standard and fix? - J.C.Boco - 03-04-2006

Is tehre a way to toggle between standard display and fix (say 3 digits) display?

I have this output and it's hard to read. I use the DET determinate function on

ii j k
3 4 3
5 2 4

The result (I'm making it up) is say

1.235335653ii + 1.and then it runs off the screen. I want to see the j value and the k value.

I figure if I can set it to 3 digit FIX, there is room to see everything. but it's a pain to do that, and almost equally painful to just enter edit mode and scroll to the right.

5.......4......3
5.......3.......19

A simple approach could be a custom menu:

{{"FIX3" << 3 FIX >>} STD} 'CST' STO>
Pressing [left shift][mode] (custom) results in the display of two functions: [FIX3] and [STD] which activate two different display formats when pressed.

Or a program like the following could be used to toggle between display modes.

\<<
IF -49. FS?
THEN STD
ELSE 3. FIX
END
\>>
From FIX or ENG mode, this switches to STD mode, and from STD or ENG mode, it switches to 3 FIX mode.

Use it in a custom menu, assign it to a user key, or just store it in a variable.
