Re: Trying to understand HAL
The BASIC in HAL is much simpler than the TI-BASIC built into the calculators,
so it is a lot faster.

Subject: Trying to understand HAL
I am trying to understand the point of HAL. What I have gathered so far
is that HAL allows you to take a program written in BASIC, and transfer
it to ASM. Ok, I understand that ASM gives you added features that BASIC
doesn't have, such as gray-scale on the screen, but why in the world
would you want to transfer a BASIC program to ASM? It the same source
code, right? How is it going to be any better in ASM than in BASIC?
