its probably becuase it checks x for the pw and x isnt there. the
reason this is is because on the 86 the variables take up 17 bytes of
data they do on all the calculators but since the 86 and 85 allows
mulitiple letter variables all the variables have to be defined by
making some sort of number or string or whatver stored in it
try this
1) look at the delete menu for a variable that u know has not been used
since u last reset ur calc
2) store that value as some number
3)look at the delete menu for that variable again if it was a number it
is listed as as a REAL variable and takes up 17 bytes if it was a STRING
it would be a number different number of bytes depending on how long the
string was
