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 (*) 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.
