Hi Nick, I'm not sure whether you are aware of this. To store a calculation to memory, press [SPACE with S, then 0 through 9], [S, then 0 through 9]. To add a calculation to memory, press [SPACE with A, then 0 through 9], [A, then 0 through 9]. To recall from memory, press [SPACE with M, then 0 through 9], [R, than 0 through 9]. To announce the memory (display the contents of the memory), press [M, then 0 through 9], [SHIFT with R, then 0 through 9]. Finally, to clear the memory, press [SPACE with K, then 0 through 9], [C, then 0 through 9].
