It's used to select hyperbolic functions (i.e. hyperbolic sine, cosine).

I am interested in functional programming. I am also interested in music programming, such as in ChucK or impromptu. My favorite language is Lisp.

      Is there a "help" feature on that calculator?

    sin becomes sinh and so on. If you haven't heard of hyperbolic functions, and you haven't studied calculus yet, then just wait to find out about it. If you have studied calculus, but your instructor skipped that material, then you are the loser because of it: you my have to pick it up in engineering or physics courses, or other math courses which assume you know it.
