Hi all.
I know turning the 65 off & on restores the top row functions. How do you restore top row functions after clearing program memory?
Thanks
If you have cleared program memory, then just turn it off and back on.
Every time you switch the HP-65 on, the firmware enters a small program for each of the function keys and matches the alternate functions written above them. You can see the steps in PRGM mode with the SST key.
Code:
LBL
A
g 1/x
4
RTN
LBL
B
f sqrt
9
RTN
LBL
C
g Yx
5
RTN
LBL
D
g ROLDN
RTN
LBL
E
g X<>Y
RTN
cheers

Hi. I see. Thanks for the clarification.

The other option would be to write that default program to a card. Don't know why anybody would waste a card on that though!
Does the HP-65 copy the default program from the firmware into RAM (and therefore occupying precious steps)?

Yes, it does. Therefore before you start programming you execute CL PRGM to get your full 100 program steps.
