hide it, select the button on the left titled Hide KB.
The Adding Machine contains a visual tape with two columns of numbers.
The left is the amount you keyed. The right column has in a 1 which is
the count. The system puts in a 1 for you. As you add items, the tape
grows. The last item is always followed by an empty item colored red.
This color red is important because it indicates where your next entry will be placed!!!
After entering a number, press the Save button. If this is your
first entry, two items will appear on the tape. The first one will
contain the number you keyed. The second will be red with the
amount showing: 0.00 and a count showing 1. This pattern will continue as
you add items
