Subject: How do I row reduce matrices on a 48?

I borrow a friends 48 for my linear algebra class.
We have not been able to find out how to put a matrix
into reduced row echelon form.  I use Matlab, where the
command is just rref(A), where A is a matrix.  The 48
comes in handy for matrix multiplication, determinants,
etc, but it would make my life infinitely more pleasurable
if it could simply row reduce a matrix.  I'm sure that
we're just not looking in the right places (in the manuals).
Should I be trying to solve multiple equations with multiple
unknowns instead?  I haven't tried this, but I did see
something posted about it earlier.  Please send any input
to me via email.

Much thanks,

--Matt
