Keypad mode is much easier for beginners to learn, because there
is no need to memorize lots of obscure key sequences.  But not all
commands in regular Calc are available on the Keypad.  You can

* Help Commands::
* Stack Basics::
* Numeric Entry::
* Algebraic Entry::
* Quick Calculator::
* Keypad Mode::
* Prefix Arguments::
* Undo::
* Error Messages::
* Multiple Calculators::
* Troubleshooting Commands::

left-click selects one word, and a triple left-click selects a
whole line.  So you can usually transfer a single number into Calc
just by double-clicking on it in the shell, then middle-clicking
in the Calc window.

This section includes a complete list of Calc 2.02 keystroke commands.
Each line lists the stack entries used by the command (top-of-stack
last), the keystrokes themselves, the prompts asked by the command,
and the result of the command (also with top-of-stack last).
The result is expressed using the equivalent algebraic function.
Commands which put no results on the stack show the full @kbd{M-x}
