156 Program Editing
Now let’s see what happened in program memory when you loaded
that instruction. With the calculator set at step 001, when you pressed
B program memory was altered...
...from this... ...to this.

You can see that when you insert an instruction in a program, all
instructions after the one inserted are moved down one step of program
memory, and the instruction formerly loaded in step 224 is lost and
cannot be recovered. In this case, the last instruction was a
instruction and was not used in the program. Note, however, that if
you inserted an instruction into program memory when step 224
contained an instruction used in a program, the instruction would
be lost from step 224. You should always view the contents of
the last few steps of program memory before adding instructions to a
program to ensure that no vital instructions will be lost from there.
