Archiving Variables (Archive, Unarchive)
You can archive data, programs, or other variables in a section of memory called user
data archive where they cannot be edited or deleted inadvertently. Archived variables
are indicated by asterisks (ä) to the left of the variable names. Archived variables cannot
be edited or executed. They can only be seen and unarchived. For example, if you
archive list L1, you will see that L1 exists in memory but if you select it and paste the
name L1 to the home screen, you won’t be able to see its contents or edit it until they are
unarchived.
