Does the 1 now point to 802 and the 2 to 803 ? and 3 will be disabled ?

So far nothing has been changed, you have the choice to use the same three blocks for backups with no individual registers, or use the first one for individual registers access and 802/803 for back ups.

That way, one could back up to two locations if desired OR have up to 2048 memory locations if possible. Anyway to have that selectable? Can location 802 be either a backup location OR chosen for more registers ?

Not sure I'm comfortable with that arrangement, I think it's a bit counter-intuitive - but maybe this is a developer view and not a user's?

Actually coming to think about it, your proposal is good in that "1" pointing as 803 will always be available; "2" pointing at 802 (like it does now) is the second possible block, and "3" pointing at 801 is the last possible choice for backup and the first one to use the extended registers...

But will anybody need more than 1,023 extended registers, really?
