One of the strengths of the TI92 or TI-89 programming environment is the
ability to _decompose_ a program into modules and layers. It would probably
make sense to have one program that does the interface with the
user, collecting the coefficients of the polynomial being studied.
A second program would then take the result (a list of numbers) and calculate
the zeros of the polynomial. Yet a third program would take the results as a
string and display them back to the user. Probably start by using ClrIO, then
display enough characters on the program I/O screen to fill one screen line
(or, you might want to back up to a logical internal point at which to break
the line). Drop down a screen line and repeat as necessary until done. It is
necessary to make the assumption that your disply will not over-fill all
available room on the I/O screen, of course!
The advantage of taking this approach is that this third program could probably
be re-used later for other purposes.
