A short question: is it possible to undo the "Clear memory"- option on a HP48SX? I've noticed that clearing it's memory is an incredibly fast process. My guess is that not all the memory is cleared - just the pointertable. I wonder: is it possible to make a program that saves away the pointertable and prints its own entry in the table. My idea is that to "restore" the memory, you should just restore this number in the pointertable (how?), run the program (which should now have reappeared in the user menu) and - voila! - your memory is back. Is this just fantasy? Is it an easier way to do it? Please email me about it!! jlongva@solan.unit.no

Well, you can undo a Memory Clear by responding YES to another Memory Clear (question: do you want to recover...) But you may not like the results. Sometimes it will bring back things better left dead. Such as an old (valid or invalid) Library... Or it might flatten out your directory structure. Or not restore anything at all... Better to do backups and restores. Derek S. Nickel
