What? You assigned a program to a number key? How do you want to enter data then?

Except for very special reasons you never assign functions or programs to the 0–9 keys or the decimal point – you see what happens if you do. The same is true for the + – × ÷ keys.

If your keyboard overlay has assignments for these keys they most probably refer to the shifted (!) function, i.e. shift 0 in this case (labelled with "LastX").

1. Clear the assignment: ASN ALPHA ALPHA [key to clear]
or
2. For programs you can simply assign the program to another key. Only the last assignment counts.

You obviously did it the wrong way. What keys exactly did you press?

If you want to assign the VE program to the shifted zero key you have to press
[shift][ASN] [ALPHA] V E [ALPHA] [shift] [0]  which displays as ASN VE –82.
