Oh, yes, I'll have to take a look at the shells used at the Ti-82 too...
Hmm, I do know thst on the Ti-82 there's some special BASIC prog that
'copies' two Matrixes to each other. It overflows and then the shell is
executed.
I guess the shell then has to lookup where the program is (if program is at
a fixed location this isn't needed) and execute it.
Does this 'copying' gives problems with the VAT (exept when deleting the
'gigantic' matrixes...)? AKA, are the file-pointers still correct?
