Hi. I don't have my manual in front of me, but I have a pretty strong memory that yes, in fact, this is explicitly covered in the 17bii manual. (I remember finding it interesting).
BTW, there are two different 17bii models: US/Canad, and International. THe only difference I have found is the ability to change language (In Other Words the CDN compounding business is in both).
Yo might also go to www.hp.com/go/calculators and search for support--discontinued models (or something like that).
Best of luck
Bill
