How can I have a GUI that is like a telephone keypad where the numbers pressed are stored in a static text box, there is a clear key, and a backspace key to manipulate the text box?

It should operate like a cellphone where one can type in a phone number and the numbers are displayed and can be cleared and/or deleted/backspace. I have most of the code already just need some help storing multiple numbers in the static text box and then manipulating them.

without diving into your code too much and next time warn us that the computer will beep. Wasn't prepared for that. Anyways, to say display it like a cellphone why not read in the value of handles.keyF and then append it with the data for that key?

temp = get(handles.keyF,'String');
set(handles.keyF, 'String', [temp m]);

and then for delete key

    temp = get(handles.keyF,'String');
    temp(end) =[]; %make the last/end entry blank [];
    set(handles.keyF, 'String', [temp]);

and then clear would just clear out the string for keyF

I agree that beep scared the shit out of me

your display function isn't working
