Installing instructions
Send the file TXTEDIT_English.83g or TXTEDIT_Dutch.83g to your calc.
Run EDIT or DISPVAL(explained at the bottom of this document).

Typing
Select "NEW" in the main menu and type your text. Use [ALPHA] to turn caps lock on/off.

Saving, opening and encoding
After you typed your text, press [ENTER]. The program wil ask you if you want to encode your text first, or save it without encoding.
If you choose to just save it, press 2. Select the slot you want to use (program uses L1 » L6). The program will quit after saving.
If you choose to encode your text, select 1. Now fill in a key. The key must be a number higher than 100 and cannot be negative.
At the main menu select "OPEN" if you want to open a saved text. Selct the slot wich you want to open. The program will automaticly detect if the text is encoded.
If the text is encoded it will ask you for the key. Note that any key will work, but if you use the wrong one, you will get an error or a bunch of weird symbols.

Using text in programs
This program is very usefull in programs because you can use symbols! To use the text in a program just make a list(see example below) and store it in L1(ALWAYS END THE LIST WITH 0).Then type prgmZP(don't forget this or your prog won't display the letters/symbols).
If you want to use letters/symbols you have to put the decimal code for the letter/symbol in the list. An easier way if you only want to use letters is to type the text in EDIT and recall the list in wich you stored it in the program(NOTE: SLOT1=L2, SLOT2=L3,...).
But what if you want to use a symbol? You will need dispval to use symbols(read below).
Example: {84,88,84,32(space),69,100,105,116,0} stored in L1 will give: TXT Edit

Using Dispval
You want to know the number of a symbol? Run "DISPVAL", type a number between 0 and 255, and see what symbol it corresponds to! ex: 187 is the start of the Greek alphabeth, so 187 is "alpha", 188 is "bèta",...

Note
If you use a program on your computer that converts letters and symbols to decimal code, note that only 32 to 126 are the same on the calc. The rest is different!(use dispval to figure it out)
