I found a way to get all the lower case characters on the TI-83. I
wrote several assembler programs using all of them. In order to get
them, use the hex values. 41-6A I believe are upper case.
Probably what happened was: you didn't use the hex endings.
Hex order:
40,41,42,43,44,45,46,47,48,49,4A,4B,4C,4D,4E,4F
Try it!
If you have any questions or want demo programs using the little
letters, email me at

Thanks!!!
