Which highlevel language? I have some documented source code on this for
VB. (5 I think)
If your doing this in VB or Pascal, can I help?

Have you seen Maple and Mathmatica? In some ways the TI-92 is like
Mathmatica in that it has the pretty print stuff. Since the 86 is limited
in memory it would seem to be better to have the output more like Maple's,
mostly plain text. Wouldn't it take less memory to display it the same way
as you would type it in?
It would seem like you would have your programs interface like the home
screen, either by an interupt or just making it look that way. Then when
the user types something in it would be stored as an equation type of
variable if just typed in or it could be passed as an equation type of
variable into a function if the user types in something like
diff(x^2,x)
Then all the sybolic programs would just interpret the equation variable.
