Re: QUESTIONS about the TI-86!?!
It does seem like they would be the same thing, like you said. I don't know
the difference, but I think one is twice as large as the other on the
calculator.

I don't see how you could convert from ASCII to hexadecimal. One is a code
mapping numbers to glyphs, the other is a base for a number system?
Which is smaller? ASCII or hex? I can see it interpreted both ways.
If I enter a hex number like F542, each digit is represented by ASCII. The
computer doesn't store the number as hex, it's just a convenient way to show
the number to humans.
