Thanks! I should've checked the manual a little more carefully first,
because I found the Deleting Temps section in the TI-83+ manual, which
probably applies to TI-83 temp variables as well. It lists all of the ways
memory is freed, and it looks like there is no need to call any functions to
free temporary variables, unless you are worried about running out of memory
in loops.
