A while ago, I spent a long time trying to figure this type of thing out,
and as far as I know there is no way (on the 86) to convert a number to a
string. In my opinion, that sucks, but oh well. Usually when you want a
number as a string, you want to fill in a sentence or something (i.e.
there were x apples). There are a couple of ways to do this. You can
use Disp, but that puts it on lots of lines, or you can use a bunch of
Outpt's (but that takes a lot of work)
The best way to do it is using variable-width font on the graph screen,
because there is no limit to the number of arguments for the Text(
command. A program would look something like this:
:Prompt x
:Text(2,13,"There were ",x," apples")
Good Luck,
Nathan
If you really want string commands, try the asm program asapXcmd. This
installs extra basic commands on your calculator. The only problem:
anyone without Xcmd installed can't run your program.
