 The @kbd{M-# 0} command (@code{calc-reset}; that's @kbd{M-#} followed
-by a zero) resets the Calculator to its default state.  This clears
-the stack, resets all the modes, clears the caches (@pxref{Caches}),
-and so on.  (It does @emph{not} erase the values of any variables.)

+by a zero) resets the Calculator to its initial state.  This clears
+the stack, resets all the modes to their initial values (the values

+caches (@pxref{Caches}), and so on.  (It does @emph{not} erase the
+values of any variables.) With an argument of 0, Calc will be reset to
+its default state; namely, the modes will be given their default values.

+negative prefix argument, @kbd{M-# 0} preserves the contents of the
