Re: A86: Re: TI-89 question

yeah, i know it's not out yet.  i was at the 89.htm page at TI and they had some screen shots of some of the 89's functions.  at the top of all of them were function tabs.  i'm just sort of assuming that ray kremer was right when he said they would be part of the "home" screen permanently.  anyway, i sort of get the feeling that we don't understand the question.  is this the case?  =)


here is what ray wrote to me.

                           Those tabs are an ever-present part of the TI-OS.
                                     Kind of like the menu bar in Windows and Mac-OS,
                                     only they take up a lot more space. The reason
                                     they don't show up in assembly programs is that
                                     assembly programs run outside of the TI-OS.
                                     Assembly goes below the TI-OS, and the TI-OS is
                                     inactive while the ASM program is running.

What? The TI-89 has not even come out yet. How do you know? How can someone program for a platform which is not out yet? Except maybe Bill Nagel.. Didnt he get a pre-release version of the TI-86 somehow?
BTW, MSIE rules. Just turn off active desktop if you dont like that interface. The browser itself it much stabler and faster, and Java support
is better, in fact Javascript (ECMAScript) is better implemented. But..
lets not start a thread on this.

check it out, some of you might have seen the post i made on the TI-89/92 discussion group, and others have not.  but anyway, i was asking about those huge function tabs that are at the top of the 89's screen.  ray kremer replyed saying that they were there forever and that ASM programs got rid of them by running under the TI-OS.  so, i'm asking if anyone knows if you could write an ASM program that would allow you to turn them on and off whenever you feel like they're getting in the way?
