I was reading up about assembly and how the shells are made and I learned
that somehow a line of calculations or something is a pointer to the ram.
Anyway, could someone clarify this for me. Also if this is true, then
wouldn't a line of code in a program contain a pointer to a different place
in the RAM?? For example doing this in TI-Basic would contain a pointer to
the location of program abc in the ram
:prgmABC
Could this pointer be ajusted so that it would execute the assembly
thingy-bober? This would be very cool because it would do two things.
1) eliminate the "PRESS ENTER" before a shell, or program, is executed
and
2) make it possible to interlace TI-Basic and Asm programs like the 83.
Just wondering if it is possible, because I have no where near the
programming knowledge to try and do something like that.:-)
