{{All this stuff you're talking about already exists.}}

ok...that's why i asked...if there was a place to get it.  wow, you're 
like a damn genius.

{{It really gets to be a pain when a newbie comes in complaining that 
everything is hard to do.}}

am i complaining?  i'm just playing around (unless i get really 
depressed and go off on you guys, which i in turn apologize).

{{There is a doc telling you what the TI-BASIC programs are tokenized 
to, though you don't need to go through the mem and try to read the 
tokens...there's not much of a reason, just use the program editor.}}

i don't want to know the tokenization to know the libraries, i wanted 
the tokens so i can reenact the ti-92 on a pc like an emulator, i guess 
you didn't read that part, I forgive you.

{{There are programs that list libraries.  Tim Gerla had one for Fargo I 
called liblist, I don't know if it exists for Fargo II.  PC Tools 98 
will list libraries for you.}}

why thank you, i knew there was a program that tells what files need 
what libraries, but why should i spend my time running a program, 
searching my files (about 1,000,000 of them) for the file i downloaded 
(i get sidetracked, and memory lapses sometimes) when the author could 
just put in his readme.txt (which he's already going to be putting in it 
anyways) the libraries.

{{If a program requires strange libaries, usually is will tell you in 
the docs.}}

wow...didn't see that coming...hmmmm, i guess i just don't know how to 
look stuff up and read.

{{Anyway, the list of tokens is in a file called files.txt, which is 
somewhere on ticalc.org, I think.}}

thanks for finally getting to the answer i was looking for.

{{Now...to all newbies:  Please put some effort in yourself.}}

i guess going to the ticalc.org and downloading all the files there, 
reading them, and forgetting where you put it and not wanting to go and 
re-download it when we can ask you guys what the files' name is and just 
use windows File Finder program to find it?  hmmm, i guess we don't put 
ANY effort in at all...oh wait, are you talking about web-newbie or this 
list newbie?

{{Don't come to us the second you have any problem.}}

i thought these boards were for help on ti-92 no matter what the body 
has in it, as long as it deals with ti-92.

{{This list is for discussing TI-92 assembly programming and such, not 
for teaching newbies how to program.}}

hmmmmm, didn't your mom teach you any manners, or respect, or maybe the 
thought that "making others happy makes you happy"?  (weird...i'm being 
hypocritical (i think that's how you spell it))

{{If you look for info on ticalc.org, in program docs, and in the fargo 
docs and can't find it, then ask.}}

oh...well, good thing that's what i did.

{{However, very often info you ask for is in one of those places.}}

well the info i asked for i got from here, so i think i'll keep up what 
i've been doing.

{{Then you say that it's too much of a pain to find.}}

i never said that, i've been here for like 3 weeks and never seen it.

{{If you look though, you will almost always find out something else 
that you didn't know along the way, which will help in the future.}}

another great sentence from "one who speaks many words the same" or in 
english "repeater"

{{I read through the new parts of the docs every time a new version of 
fargo comes out, they are very helpful.  You're not going to convince me 
that your time is more aluable than mine, though I know in previous 
emails you have tried that.  Just put some effort in yourself, and you 
will get a much more positive response from list members.}}

thanks for the help (what little you gave).  i don't consider myself a 
"newbie" because i've been here for 3 weeks and read all the messages 
before saying one word like 2 weeks ago (or was it 1...i don't 
know...memory lapse), anyway, i saw nothing i needed, so i ASKED.  and 
when i say i "saw" i mean i actually went up to that "location" thing 
and put http://www.ticalc.org and also http://www.webcrawler.com to 
search for the stuff.
