One example is that you can config very easily you calc to launch any
program with a shortcut:
U just put it in main, and call it kbdprgm1 to launch it with [diamond]
[1] from any directory, or kbdprgm2 to launch it with [diamond] [2], and
et cetera...
I can just applause the TI team which did that, it's just wonderful.
Personaly, I made a Program Manager, a kind of shell (PGL2.0, which
could be found on www.tical.org, if
my demand was accepted, if it wasn't just ask me for it, I'll be proud
to send it to you. Maybe I'll put it on my web site, check for it soon
at the CedFoo's Place) based on
the popup function and matrices, with which you can store all your programs
in unlimited subdirectories, and access them directly without typing anything
but [diamond] [1...9].
I'm making advertising here :-)
What's more U can combine this technic with the [custom] menu. I never
used it on the TI-92, cause it was useless (in my point of view) thanks
to the qwerty keyboard, but on the TI-89, if I take the example of the
units some people were talking about, the default [custom] menu made by
TI contains all the main units often used. And if not, you can even edit
it to extend its capabilities or doing your brand new one.
If I carry on the idea of the combination of these two technics, you
switch between your different menus by just pushing [diamond] [1],[2],…,
after having defining your personnal menus in programs kbdprgm1, kbdprgm2…
I ve'gotten this calc for only two days, and already love it, thanks to its power and efficiency.
This news list is awesome, we start talking about Drugwars, and we finish by talking about the (wonderful) speed of the TI-89. It's cool :-)
P.S: I'm still looking for a 68k assembler for mac, since there is nothing like that on ticalc's site. Please, there must be somebody programming in assembly code from a macintosh in this news list, since basically, this is an assembly news list a far as I know !!
Waiting for any answer. CedFoo. (cedfou@chez.com).
