I think I know why those programs won't convert right. A few months ago, when
I was new to ti-83 asm, I also
wrote my programs by hand, and my first programs that accessed the program
list didn't work. My mistake was this:
I converted "LD hl,(PROGPTR)" to 211993, which is wrong because PROGPTR isn't
the actual list, it is a pointer to the
list. The correct instruction would be 2A1993. Perhaps you did the same
mistake?
