It is the system program of the TI92 = the internal program of the calc
= the operating system of the TI92

They are temporary folders used by the TI : It allows to give
arguments for a Ti-Basic program (and now also for a Fargo 
program): the arguments are files in such a folder.

If you want to test it yourself, make a small tibasic program 
with arguments. Call in this program a fargo browser. (shell or
pct98).
i.e. :

:test(a,b)
:local d
:
:a+b->c
:a*c->d
:pct98()

Then, run it from the HOME :
test(5,87)
for example

It will run pct98, where you will be able to see
in the 0001 folder the a, b and d variables !
the c variable will be in main.

SO : If a variable is defined with 'Local' in a TIBasic program,
the variable will be in the temporary folder. Else it will be in
the current folder. (like c in the program)

On some ROM versions, there are a lot of such folders. Is it a bug ?
Because on my 1.11 ROM, I always have only one, and on the
1.12 of my brother, I saw there was 0001,0002,0003..0007

>It is possible to realize a program which could send back up to another Ti-92?
There is a problem when it is different ROM version.
