Re: Sharing equations with a TI-85
Most types of variables can be directly sent from the TI-86 to the TI-85
via the SND85 option in the LINK menu. However, some types cannot, because
they can contain extra functions that will not work on the TI-85. I don't
have a TI-86 and don't remember whether equation-type variables can be
directly sent, but if they cannot, then they can be sent by converting them
to strings.
Say you wanted to send the equation DISTANCE. Go to the STRNG menu and
select Eq>St, and on the Home Screen type:
Eq>St(DISTANCE,DISTSTRN)
where DISTSTRN is the name of the new string variable. Send the string
variable to the TI-85 via the SND85 menu, and on the TI-85, type
St>Eq(DISTSTRN,DISTANCE)
to convert the string back to the equation.

Does anybody know how to link equations from a TI-86 to a TI-85?
