While you're here, how about checking out the Astronomy Book List ?

Hi Tim!

To answer your questions:

1. Yes

2. Use GUIDE, not CNTR.

3. ERASE eliminates all previous training. I have never tried just pressing
LEARN without ERASE first. I always used UPDATE to modify the training.

Hope this helps!
