Re: argh ! 255 charcters only on the TI-92
Number 0 is null so you don't need it anyway. They are numbered (like most
stuff in computers) starting at 0 so if there are 256 characters that means,
they are numbered 0-255. However, on the TI-92, TI probably thought that no
one would ever know what the numbers where mapped to and that they wouldn't
need null (0), they just deleted it and started off at 1 (1-255).
