STIME
Type: Command
Description: Serial Time-Out Command: Specifies the period that SRECV (serial reception) and XMIT (serial
transmission) wait before timing out.
The value for x is interpreted as a positive value from 0 to 25.4 seconds. If no value is given, the
default is 10 seconds. If x is 0, there is no time-out; that is, the device waits indefinitely, which
can drain the batteries.
STIME is not used for Kermit time-out.

STO
Type: Command
Description: Store Command: Stores an object into a specified variable or object.
Storing a graphics object into PICT makes it the current graphics object.
To create a backup object, store the obj into the desired backup location (identified as
:n
port
:name
backup
). STO will not overwrite an existing backup object.
To store backup objects and library objects, specify a port number (0 through 3).
After storing a library object in a port, it must then be attached to its directory before it can be used.
The easiest way to do this is to execute a warm start (by pressing
$& C). This also causes the
calculator to perform a system halt, which clears the stack, the LAST stack, and all local variables.
STO can also replace a single element of an array or list stored in a variable. Specify the variable
in level 1 as name(index), which is a user function with index as the argument. The index can be n
or n,m, where n specifies the row position in a vector or list, and n,m specifies the row-and-
column position in a matrix.
