Yes, all 20 lines of it!

RPL would be easier to read if it could benefit of comment lines and an modern editor.
About the 20 lines, proves it please ;-)

Everything could be possible, have a look : the DM15L (HP-15c copy) is also complicated to maintain, more than a RPL calculator, as running pure RPN instructions without text.
But it's enhanced with the simulator environment of https://hp-15c.homepage.t-online.de/content_web.htm giving access to :
- program documentation
- variables description
- clear instructions, step by step.
