For example, if you save VARS into 'Vars', and call the backup 'BAKUP' in Port 2, then :2:{BAKUP Vars} RCL will yield the list of BAKUP's contents. If you do this consistently, then all your backups will be listable.

You know what? When I read such things I realize how poor I am. instead of trying the ways that are more economical (in this case, effort), I try those that are pointing in one direction and that's it.

It is not bad to learn in that direction, but it is not flexible. Thanks for the tip it is what I am going to do. It sounds reasonable to me.

@Claudio: it is very nice to hear such things from you. If you learn new stuff every now and then on a device that is obvious that you like, it is obvious that the same will be valid for me, 100! times more.
