Interresting but I don't think the TIOS is fine not as long as they use hex coded dec, or bcalls wich have an option of writing to the display (wich must be horribly slow to support both draw to buffer and display) I saw a very fast alternative basic language around, so TI-basic could be updated,......

More possible answers are welcome.
Please tell me if there are any grammar/vocabular errors.

kerm_martian: Thanks, I'll try that, btw does it detect if there is enough ram to preserve Ans and Last Entries? Dwedit: Do you mean that I should temporarily store the previous contents of $9D95 (and on) to it, and restore it afterwards? I have an exit routine wich is also use to quit if the user p...

My first try is just resetting that memory... hehe, got some very funny results... If the Ans was a real number, its 0 after resetting, no big deal. if it was a list, Ans = {} If it was a string, Ans = "" BUT, if ans was a Matrix and i try to recall it, i get matrix with infinite columns, ...

The only thing i hate about ticonnect is that it is VERY slow in sending, and absolutely stupid in error detection (file already exist, i think he restarts the connection and continues sending, would be ok if the init wasnt so slow) Some other stupid stuff: if you're overwriting an app on your calc ...

People have indeed written on-calc assemblers. You can find one here: http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/392/39241.html Perhaps you could ask the author of that for some pointers. They look nice, I was thinking of an APP with it's own IDE. I thought of adding help to every intruction and...
