So load the first half of the routine, two cards, input the variables and execute. The last part of the first half of the routine store the new variables in registers and executes the merge function prompting the next card.

The second two sides of the new card call the new variables from their registers (as directed by your routine ) and continues the execution automatically.

This procedure can be repeated for as many cards as you have. If it works in the HP 67E substitute a card for a program location. May or may not work, I don't know.

I'm sorry that MERGE will not work with HP-67E. Recalling a program with f f RCL ... is not a programmable ihnstruction and always stores 224 steps into the actual program area.

If I ever implement the card reader in a real HP-67 with the next generation ACT I will try to implement also program merging. But please dont wait for it.
