Have you ever needed to rename a program and you didn't want to download or you don't have a whole App to do it? Well here you go :) To rename it, put the new name in Str1 and the current name in Ans and then run Asm(prgmRENAME. So as an example, to change prgmMEANDHIM to prgmHEANDI (you know, for proper grammar :P ), you can do this:
Code: [Select]
"HEANDI→Str1
"MEANDHIM
Asm(prgmRENAME

EDIT: Opcode included

Yeah :D
This is very useful !

Though, the program must be in RAM, right ?
(not a problem, just for clarification ;))

According to the gif, it seems that the program to rename can be archived.

I wouldn't recommend renaming an archived program. If you rename an archived program and Garbage Collect before you've unarchived or deleted it, then problematic stuff happens (you can't access that program until the next RAM Clear and causing any OS error will crash the calculator)

The program to rename can be in RAM or archive, but prgmRENAME must be in RAM to run it normally (unless you have a shell that lets you run it from Archive).

EDIT: Don't do that ^ I got ninja'd by calc84maniac, luckily. I had never known that :D

So to be clear: Do not rename archived programs and then garbage collect. I am working on fixing it to automatically unarchive the program first.

Of course this is irrelevant, but I rename programs by changing them to unprotected programs, [2nd] [RCL]'ing them into a new basic program with the correct name, and the changing the back to a protected program.

But this looks way easier :P
