Reusing a Previous Entry or the Last Answer
You can reuse a previous entry by reexecuting the entry “as is” or by editing the entry 
and then reexecuting it. You can also reuse the last calculated answer by inserting it into 
a new expression.

When you press 
¸ to evaluate an expression, the TI-89 Titanium leaves that 
expression on the entry line and highlights it. You can type over the entry, or you can 
reuse it as necessary.
For example, using a variable, find the square of 1, 2, 3, etc. As shown below, set the 
initial variable value and then enter the variable expression. Next, reenter to increment 
the variable and calculate the square.
