I don't believe anyone uses them, except those people who couldn't do
better than a TI-81. They are probably there so that all the TI-81
programs can be written for the more advanced calcs. Now if only people
bothered writing them down...
Pathetic, isn't it. I almost want to see if we can write decent
programs that work on the '81, the calculator without commands like For,
Then, Send() (or Outpt(), for those 85'ers), Circle, or StorePic.
