They aren't wiped out, just transformed! They are normally scratch
for an ASM program on the TI-86, aren't they? That's what I was told,
but I'm not sure. You can still store variables in text memory or
(for initialized data) inside the program itself. The 16K of RAM is
just the price you have to pay for the fast FindPixel!
