 Ooh, apparently a string takes up less memory on the 89.  So, how would I do 
 the same sort of thing for a string, like finding the third number from the 
 left, etc. ?

on the 86 if you do {5,2,6,4}\->\A
then A(1)=5  A(2)=2 A(3)=6 A(4)=4
the syntax may be a little diffrent for the 89
and you can use the "sub" command to deal w/ strings
ex: "5264"\->\A
sub(A,3,1)=6
the 3 points to the first space to start at and 1=the length which would 
return 6
once again the 89 may have diffrent syntax
