60  Section 5: Programming Basics 
 
 
This indicates that the key for the instruction in program line 08 is in the fourth 
row on the keyboard and is the tenth key in that row: the + key. When you 
keyed  the  digit  3  into  program  memory,  the  keycode  displayed  was  only  the 
digit 3. 
Since  keystroke  sequences  beginning  with  ´,  O,  l,  and  t  are 
stored  in  only  one  program  line,  the  display  of  that  line  would  show  the 
keycodes for all the keys in the keystroke sequence. 
 
Displaying Program Lines 
Pressing ¥ to set the calculator from Run mode to Program mode displays 
the  line  number  and  keycode  for  the  program  line  to  which  the  calculator  is 
currently set. 
Occasionally  you'll  want  to  check  several  or  all  of  the  instructions  stored  in 
program  memory.  The  HP-10C  enables  you  to  review  program  instructions 
either forward or backward through program memory: 
•  Pressing  Â  (single  step)  while  the  calculator  is  in  Program  mode 
advances the calculator to the next line in program memory, then displays 
that line number and the keycode of the instruction stored there. 
•  Pressing ´‚ (back step) while the calculator is in Program mode 
sets  the  calculator  back  to  the  previous  line  in  program  memory,  then 
displays that line number and the keycode of the instruction stored there. 
For example, to display the first two lines of the program now stored in program 
memory, set the calculator to Program mode and press  twice:
