Errors during compilation have nothing to do with the functionality of ION.
You are getting errors on those romcalls simply because they are not defined
in ion.inc yet. However, not all hope is lost, you just have to actually do
some effort on your part, rather than being spoon fed the procedure to
develop a program. Look in the TI-83 and TI-83 Plus include files (do some
searching for those as well, if you dont have them), and then look for the
romcall equates you need, and plug them into the respective sections of
ion.inc, one being the 83 part, and the other being the 83+ part. After doing
that, then it should compile fine. Hopefully you will find the right equates
you need, and not cause yourself trouble when executing the program.
