Re: A86: bugs in the rom




i found a minor, yet noticeable, bug in the rom, where should i report
it? I found it originally back when i had a calc w/ rom 1.2, i lost that and 
now i have rom 1.6, and it still isn't fixed. somebody try this out and tell 
me i'm not insane, please...

from the home screen...
2nd
+      <---- To get to the STAT menu
F1        <------- get to plot 1, but this also works w/ plots 2&3
down         <--------- get to plot type selector
f4    <------- select 'HIST'
down     <------- Get to 'Xlist Name='
ALPHA    <------- Turn off alpha lock
1      <-------  Type a '1'
ENTER     <------- Try and set 'Xlist Name' to '1'

Here you get a syntax error, keep going....

f1     <-------	Goto the error..

Yep.. i got it to work.. Though they exact keys were 
[2nd][STAT][F3][F1][down][F4][ALPHA][1][ENTER][F1]
And you see:

Xlist Name=1
Ylist Name=yStat

Then if you type an A in place of the 1, and hit [down][up] you see even 
weirder garbage:

Xlist Name=A
Freq=1Name=1Stat

After that, I hit [EXIT][2nd][STAT][F3][F1] and the menu is messed up now. 
The first slot (Above F1) has PLOT1 normal, but F2 through F5 are inverse 
text as if a second menu was invoked, but none appears. Then you hit [down] 
and the menu moves up to the 7th line where it should be, and is properly 
inverted and the second menu is now visible.

You can report this to dim-ti in the bugs section so you get the credit you 
deserve. Try reporting it to TI again, but instead of saying (to bring up 
stat menu), only say the *exact* keypresses you used. I couldn't get it to 
work at first following your keys exactly as you had them on here, but after 
fiddling around, I did get it. I am using rom 1.6 as well.
