Hi, I haven't been on for a while but i have been thinking.  I want to 
make a shell, PowerOS, to not only teach me more ASM, but to demonstrate 
the complete capabilities of the 83.  I plan on having the following:
-Error trapping:
   -this would call a pop-up when an error occured telling what went 
wrong and why.
-Resource Manager
   -this would tell if the battery is low or if the mem is low.  If the 
mem is low it will ask what do you want to delete from the list of files 
on the calc to free up mem.  The user will also tell at what level he 
wants to be warned.
-3 Default Folders [256 possible]
   -although you can have 256 folders the mem most likely wont support 
it.  Each folder would have a name and a hexadecimal address (ex:  
Games=$01, Main=$02, etc.)
-Libraries (user selectable)
   -having the user select what library he wants is usefull.  That way 
if he doesn't play games(hehehe) he can take off the game library.  Also 
when you install games it tells you what libraries you need that 
currently aren't on
-and anything else you guys think is necessary

Oh yea, I need some serious ASM help on this so if anyone wants to work 
on it with me, E-Mail me or IM me at: Phelan4687
