Yes, what's more, we don't know the use of most of the functions, and it
may not be obvious.

I hope so =)
Anyway, programming w/o a shell will probably cause some
incompatibilities, notably about 89/92+.
But it can be interesting anyway.

BTW, I have done a ROM.h which lists all the Rom calls revealed in this
doc. 
Another thing that ppl should know is that both TI89 and TI92+ 1.01 have
$3CC Rom Calls, but the TI92+ 1.00 seems to have only about $2A0 rom
calls..

Well we still have a lot to do before we can use all TI functions.. 
BTW, I haven't found an Archive/Unarchive function, neither a 'run
TIBASIC prog' function..
