Storage register arithmetic is possible with only registers R
0
 through R
4. 
Example: In the example on page 20, we updated the balance in your 
checkbook. Let’s suppose that because data is stored indefinitely in your 
calculator’s Continuous Memory, you keep track of your checking account balance 
in the calculator. You could use storage register arithmetic to quickly update the 
balance after depositing or writing checks.
