TIB: "locking" programs on the TI-85

You need to have an asm shell (i.e. zshell, usgard, etc.)  Then, download the
program "popchar"  for the shell.  I know zshell has one... it works on
usgard, also.  At the end of you basic program put a stop command, and then go
to popchar.  Select the $FF symbol - should be a black square.  Hit enter and
then exit popchar and it will automatically be sent to the undelete buffer.
Go back to your program, and add a new line. Put the $FF symbol on the line by
selecting undelete from the menu.  Now quit and run your program.

If you try to open it then, it will give the overflow error.

This "locks" the program.  Note the word locks is in quotes, because it isn't
too hard to unlock it on your computer.
