An old carpentry book told me to buy a programmable calculator and
program this: STO 4 x RCL 1 + RCL 3 = STO 5 RCL 4 x RCL 2 = STO
6 ....I'm used to my $10 model that doesn't program but stores and
recalls so easily. On the HP35s I can't yet enter any number into
storage and recall it....all this in algebraic. Let alone enter this
particular program. Any response should be down to my level.
Thanks.

To store a number that's in the display, press the blue right-arrow key then
press
any key with a red letter on the lower right face. Example:

To store a number in variable A, press blue arrow key, STO
(listed in blue on the bottom surface of the RCL key) then
press the R/S key (upper left corner of keyboard) then press ENTER.

To recall it, press the RCL key, then press the R/S key
now press ENTER.

Your sequence would be:

Blue Arrow,STO MODE x RCL R/S + RCL XEQ = Blue Arrow,STO Rd RCL MODE x RCL
GTO = Blue Arrow,STO x< >y

Letters are used for string rather than numbers. Use the simple table
below for equivalents:

Your Book says: You press:
STO 1 Blue arrow, RCL R/S
STO 2 Blue arrow, RCL GTO
STO 3 Blue arrow, RCL XEQ
STO 4 Blue arrow, RCL MODE
STO 5 Blue arrow, RCL Rd (Roll down key)
STO 6 Blue arrow, RCL x< >y

RCL 1 RCL R/S
RCL 2 RCL GTO
RCL 3 RCL XEQ
RCL 4 RCL MODE
RCL 5 RCL Rd (Roll down key)
RCL 6 RCL x< >y
