That's all there is to creating and running simple programs! But if you want to use
programs frequently, you'll want to know more about programming — such as
how to check what keystrokes are stored in program memory, how many
keystrokes can be stored in program memory, how to correct or otherwise modify
programs, how to skip keystrokes when running a program, and so on. Before you
can understand these aspects of programming, we need to briefly discuss how
keystrokes are treated by the calculator when they are stored in Program mode
and when they are executed in Run mode.
