 Local  Misc - Variable
Syntax: Local<variable name>, <variable name> ... 
[,<color command>]
Function: Defines a local variable.
Description: The following are the merits of local 
variables.
• Since local variables are deleted automatically, 
use of local variables for temporary storage avoids 
unnecessary use of available memory.
• Since local variables do not affect general (user) 
variables, you can name local variables without 
worrying about whether the name you are using is 
already used by another variable.
Locate  I/O - Output
Syntax 1: Locate<
x-coordinate>, <y-coordinate>, 
<expression>
Syntax 2: Locate<
x-coordinate>, <y-coordinate>, 
"<string>"
Function: This command displays the result of the 
specified expression or the specified text string at the 
specified coordinates on the display screen.
Description:
• The coordinates of the point at the upper left corner 
of the effective area of the Locate command are (1, 
1), and coordinate values can be specified in the 
range of 1 to 580 for the x-coordinate and 1 to 580 
for the y-coordinate. Note, however, that the actual 
dot count of the ClassPad screen is 320 × 528.
• An expression result is displayed as a single line.
Lock  Misc - Variable
Syntax: Lock<variable name>, <variable name> ...
Function: Locks variables.
LockFolder  Misc - Variable - Folder
Syntax: LockFolder<folder name>
Function: Locks the specified folder and all the files

−
b·x
)) regression.
Description: See SinReg.
LogP  Misc - Graph&Table(1)
Function: Used as a ViewWindow command 
argument to specify an option. See ViewWindow.
LogReg (LogR)  Misc - Statistics(1) - Regression

[,[<yn>] [,{On ; Off}]]]
Function: Performs 
y = a·x + b Med-Med calculation.
Description: See SinReg.
Message  I/O - Output
Syntax: Message"<string 1>" [,"<string 2>"]
Function: This command pauses program execution 
and displays a dialog box containing the text specified 
by "<string 1>".
The text is positioned flush top left. The text specified 
for "<string 2>" is used as the dialog box title.
Description:
• Text strings enclosed within quotation marks (" ") or 
variable names can be specified for "<string 1>" and 
"<string 2>".
• Tapping [OK] closes the dialog box and resumes 
program execution.
• Tapping [Cancel] terminates program execution.
ModBox  Misc - Statistics(1) - Graph
