Program Memory Basics 
Program Memory stores a sequence of entries in calculator memory for re-use 
at a later time.  A program line is specific number, function key, or decimal 
point.  For example the ENTER button is a program line.  Program lines that 
start with  b ,  r ,  RCL, STO, or GTO buttons have two entries because the 
entry is incomplete without describing what comes after the first button. 
 
When executing a program, all instructions therein are performed—all button 
sequences are carried out, just like touching the keys manually—and begin with 
the current program line proceeding through all the rest of the program lines. 
 
When in program mode, the display screen holds data from the current 
program line.  To the left of the display screen is the number of the program line 
in the program memory. 
 
The rest of the digits describe a code that tells what instruction is stored within 
that program line.  A program line set to 000 will show no code, because there 
is no instruction specified. 
To display a program line:  touch  b , P/R to set calculator to program mode 
instead of run mode, this will display the key code and line number for the 
calculator’s current program line. 
 
To check some (or all) instruction stored within the program memory: touch 
SST (single step) in program mode to go to the next line of program memory 
and its instructional information.  To see the prior line of program memory touch  
.
r  BST which will back step the program one line at a time. 
 
 
Determining Program Line Instructions 
All keys besides the number 0-9 keys on the calculator are described by 2-digit 
key codes that correspond with that specific key’s location on the keyboard.  
The first number in the key code is the number of the key row, with the first row 
being 1-9, and 0 for the 10
th
 key.  The number keys 0-9 have key codes that 
correspond to their values (the number 3 button’s key code is only ‘3’), 
therefore storing the  R↓  button to a program as an instruction into program 
memory displays a line number and key code of 001  33.
