My 92+ is successfully running '89 programs. Only problem is the keyboard
mapping, which is different from calc to calc (took me forever to figure
out that carat is escape :-). Perhaps we should have a program to
translate mapping codes on a PC (or Mac)? Is this possible? I know it'd
be more than simply replacing values--or would it?

All signs point to yes here, since TI can update TI-OS, we should be able
to. Even if our update happens to be, say, Linux. :-)
