and you do it again to unarchive it
things with an asterix (*)(but bigger) are archived. things without it, are not.
also if you have an 84, check your apps. i found that some of my apps were unarchived and apps do not need to be unarchived. archive them first.
also if your running a game with multiple programs, make sure they are ALL unarchived, else the game wont work.

so only use the RAM for current prgms that you are using.
