Archiving Variables (Archive, Unarchive)

You can archive data, programs, or other variables in a section of

memory called user data archive where they cannot be edited or deleted

inadvertently. Archived variables are indicated by asterisks (*) to the left

of the variable names. Archived variables cannot be edited or executed.

They can only be seen and unarchived. For example, if you archive list

L1, you will see that L1 exists in memory but if you select it and paste the

name L1 to the home screen, you won’t be able to see its contents or

edit it until they are unarchived.
