I am pretty sure,
the best thing would be for sure to get the source PRG.
of SPRITED.
It is very *VERY* instructional !!!!
It can be found on every good ti-86 web page.
I consider myself a rather good Assembler coder (c-64,68000-amiga,z-80 family
etc...) 
But I have learned *A LOT* ->system wise from the SPrited asm src.
You'll learn about 
1) getting arguments for procedure (like input'ing file names in the middle
   of a program).
2) getting keypresses (with or without saving battery nrg).
3)getting/saving/updating files (or here .... Strings).

The code is rather elegant and well documented....
 (compare to Vertigo)....

*VERTIGO* is an EXCELLENT (and hard game ... as the doc mentions .. where
the hell is my hammer ?!?!?!)
But it is not friendly toward new comers.
