That was a long time ago... I also wanted to create such a program
in a highlevel language on the PC first; I thought that would make the
whole project easier. However, nothing ever really happened. I didn't
find much info about it on the web, and I wasn't that enthusiastic about
it. Using TI hooks - you want to integrate the symbolic stuff with
TI-OS?! That's most likely... very hard, if not impossible. I thought
of making a copy of the 89/92 home menu.
