Silent Link Protocol.  When using TI's Graph Link software (for
Windows), you can send and receive with the calc without ever touching
the calc...if it's at the homescreen.  You don't have to use the Link
menu's Send/Receive stuff.  www.ti.com has a doc about it.

Well, FPS means Floating Point Stack (not frames per second).

Terminate and Stay Resident, meaning it hooks into an interrupt...the
[sqrt] programs are built-in TSR's (if a program makes one of them).  We
need a good FAQ about TSR on the calc.

Exactly that.  A byte or bytes that represent something else.
