What's This Program?

What about posting a listing here and have the community find out what the program does?

Of course you can do so, but that does not make sure there is not another label B somewhere. Simply get out of program mode and press GTO B – if you get an error, there is no other label B. If you don't, switch to program mode and see what you find there.

Honestly, I often experience the same problem as you. I try this and that on a 41C, then something on a 35s, or a 34s, often in different versions. And in the end I cannot remember what's special about one version or another. #-) That's why I record the more important programs (or let's say: the ones I want to keep) as program listings in Excel files, along with some comments and additional information. Something like a kind of "electronic program form".
