Re: A85: x-stat and delete protection




Only one problem with this current thread:  the original question seems to
have been forgotten.

amaya@alaska.net had asked if vars could simply be non-deletable... but
still accessible as a normal variable...

My idea would be to somehow change the calculator so that when
2nd|mem|delete is chosen, a jump to a new bit of code could happen...  then,
it would be possible to code a delete utility which maintains a table of
variable attributes (no-delete is the only one I can think of)

This way, the utility can check the table to see if a variable can be
deleted before the deletion is done...

I'm sure that there are TI-85 hackers on this list who actually have time to
implement this, as I do not...  I think it would be a very useful utility...

(Installation isn't hard - make an install program which deletes itself)

Ok, I'm sorry if this message lacks a lot of coherency, I need to get
sleep...
