I'm opting to do that. (real) act just like (cons).

some programs don't include the delvar(. Algebra 2 ToolBox does (after
all, they ONLY use A, B, C, D, E, & F, but I couldn't use Algebra2 if I
put Fluorine as [CONS] of 19. Basically I'd just get an error while
running algebra2. What I've been doing recently is just typing:
12.011->C. And well if it gets deleted, to the hell with it and type it
again ;), then comes your idea of writing a program that sets it back.
I'll consider that. Now if only there was something that could allow the
program to recognize <file folders/formats> oooh... Hello TI-92 d:)
