ok and how do you propose to use the full ANSI character set because if
you were to do that you would have to change the character set or make
an interrupt based patch program but both of these would take up space
that could be used for programs. and with the graphlink cables, you
would have to make a cable that converts the ti-signal to true rs-232
format(which the ti-graphlink) does. also if you have a Staples offive
supply store in your area you can buy the graphlink for less.

also why don't you try to make these applications before going out to
ask for people to make applications?
