Saving Dimensions with List

SawGear lets you save dimensions you are working with by storing up to 9 lengths in each of 10 cut lists.
The following examples show how to enter dimensions into a list that is empty (contains no cuts).
To enter dimensions into a list that already contains cut lengths, see Editing a List.

The messages shown below SCROLL across the screen if longer than the LCD's 16 character width.

SawGear is in Foot mode for these examples.
