Wow!  You got some email software that quotes!  Good job!

Anyway, to answer your question by asking another, what assembler are you
using?  You can't use the original ti86asm.inc file with TASM.  It uses a
couple different formats, one of which is this:

_clrLCD                          .equ            4A7Eh
_clrScrn                         .equ            4A82h
_putmap                          .equ            4A27h

I think it also accepts '=' for '.equ' and '$4A7E' for '4A7Eh'

Have fun.
