assumes that it is a subprogram and automatically inserts the letter O as the

programs with more than 5 numeric characters as subprograms.
Entering ProgramNames
To enter a program name, do the following:
1. Press the softkey {PROGRAM MANAGE}. This calls up the
program directory, which lists subprograms first, then programs by
alphabetical order.
2. Type in the name of a new program or one already listed. You cannot
enter spaces or special characters.
3. Press {EDIT}, which will initiate the editing mode for the program
selected.
Important: When the control reads a program from tape, the O--word is
the program name. If t here is no O--word, the control interprets the first
sequence number a s the program name.
