I agree with Grant.  For one thing, the 86 has 96.0K user RAM,
but the GL software only supports group files of ~64K.  Also,
a RAM backup would save _all_ your RAM _exactly_ as you had it;
that is, system settings, modes, graph parameters, etc. would be
preserved.  Finally, backups, being one file, would be very easy to
organize.  It is a feature I really miss in the GL software.  TI
really dropped the ball on this one.
