there are some built in calls that zshell has built into the shell and a
lot of the romcodes are located in different places, some more are added
to the 86 too, i suggest you study some ti83 asm docs or programs
because some of the rom calls that are on the 86 are on the 83 and it
shows routines,etc. that are similar, if not the same
