I kind of question what the point of multitasking is... you can play sqrxz
for a few seconds while the calculator finishes an integral or something?
Anyway, I'm pretty sure that what TSE does isn't really multitasking... I
believe it just saves the state of one program and then switches to another.
That's basically just a feature, and many games have options to save where
you are anyway.

How is multitasking accomplished in TSE for the 83+?  Can that same method,
or a similar one be used on the 86?  If so, why has no one done it?
