Well I looked for it for a while, but it's not there... In the manual
there is a function for it, but it's not that hard to write :)

xroot(xx,yy)
=46unc
yy^(1/xx)
EndFunc

This is one function I don't see why they didn't put on in the first
place, having been used to the notation used on the other TI's. I
guess it's just trivial tho, and not much of an inconvenience to type.
I guess they didn't want to go through the trouble of coding the
"pretty print" for the little numbers in the radical symbol for them.
