Current: Somehow, was not aware that this same functionality is also present in the TI-58/58c/59. While a program is running, pressing the Pause key (pause is the GTO key on these models), and you will see the step by step results of the display shown. In fact, in the SR-56 HHC 2016 presentation, I actually state that I was unaware of another machine that did this...despite owning a handful of TI-58c models and a couple of TI-59 machines... I like the TI-58c better than the TI-59 because most TI card readers no longer work, but the TI-58c constant memory usually does!

Oh well. If everyone else knew this, then shame on me. :-) If not, now you know.

Look on page V-44 of the Personal Programming manual that came with the 58/59. It lists the uses of the Pause key. If you don't have a copy, you can get it at
