Did the HP-65 record data?

[SlideRule]

I wrote numerous 65 programs which relied on the retention of the contents of the data registers while altering the contents of the program registers.
According to the 65 manual (page 63); "Reading or writing a card records all 100 steps of the program memory. However, it does not change the contents of the registers, which enables you to utilize data developed by a prior program."
BEST!
