[A83] Re: Back to the home screen




I'm am working with an interrupt prog right now,
Everything works fine, it's a password protect program.
With APD or 2nd+off, the calc shuts down (from inside
my interrupt). Then I ask the keys etc. and then I want
to go to the home screen. When you were in the prgm menu,
you'll be back there when the int stops. I want to know
how to get at a good way to the home screen "functions"
inside the TI-OS. Take a look at the archive of the
assembly-83 list to see what has been said the last days
about this. That would help a lot (I think).
