[A83] Re: Back to the home screen


Ok I think I understand what you're asking(I jumped in, in the middle of
this thread).  So you want to write a routine to switch to the homescreen no
matter where you are in tios (and you're having trouble in the case of
menus)?  I think you could load 0 into register a, then call loadmenunuml.
This will close the menu and bring you back to the app that is open
(grapher, prog editor, homescreen etc.).  Then you can change cxCurApp like
you were doing.  I think a better method of switching from the current
context (app) is to load the context App's number into register a then do
the rom call _newContext0 (i think _newContext without the 0 is pretty much
the same but doesn't restore the original rompage and sets kbdkey to 0) then
a call to the cxRedisp routine should finish it off(or just use your puts
routine you've got to redisplay).  See squish.inc for these equates.
