The plain old TI-92 already does tokenization, as do *all* of the TI
graphing calculators.

Not only is this way too much to ask, but TI was not involved in the
development of Fargo, nor was I hired to develop the TI-92. To give the
TI-92 Plus built-in support for Fargo programs would be highly questionable.

It would be much, much better to run a Plus-ported version of Fargo/Fargo
II, a sort of "Fargo emulation layer" nested underneath the TI-92 Plus's
built-in asm.

Just use the CUSTOM menu.

BTW there's no F9 key... :-)
