Predefined Global Alpha Labels
There are a few labels employed and provided for particular tasks already. You find
them listed in CAT when the respective routines are loaded in XROM. Thus they will not
take any steps from user program memory.
WHO
Displays credits to those brave men who did the work.

Provides the step size for differentiation. See f f in the Index of Opera-
tions for more information.
More routines are found at http://wp34s.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/wp34s/library/ as
text files with extension .wp34s by convention. This includes, for example, a suite of ba-
sic 3D vector operations, a TVM application, and more. You may open these files using
e.g. Notepad, and download them following your needs. README_ASM explains the
loading procedure.
MESSAGES
There are some commands generating messages, also in the dot matrix section of the
display. Four of them, DAY, DAYS+, STATUS, and VERS, were introduced above in the
paragraph about display already. Others are PROMPT, VIEW and many more alpha
commands, and the test commands as mentioned above.
Also two constants will return a special display when called: NaN and  will show
