Writing Status Cards
Status cards can be written using the (wsTs](write status) function. This
function writes the following information to cards:
Status of flags O through 43 (refer to the HP-41C Owner's Hand-
book and Programming Guide, section 14 for information about
flags),
Location of the statistics registers,
Number of data storage registers currently allocated,
Key reassignments of any standard HP-41C functions or reassign-
ments of any functions contained in any plug-in application
module or other system extension. This does not include reassign-
ments of programs you have written and stored in program
memory (they are stored with the program), and
Contents of registers X, Y, Z, T, LAST X, and ALPHA.
The procedure for writing status cards is:

Set the HP-41C to normal or USER mode.
Execute the function. The HP-41C will prompt you for the
cards with the standard card track prompt
RDY kk OF nn
where kK is the next track to be written and Nn is the total
numberoftracks required to write all of the status information to
cards.
Select a blank card and insert it into the card reader. The HP-41C
will begin writing the status information to the cards, prompting
you for each successive track.
