Re: 86 questions and answers
On the TI-85, there is a delay the first time a program is run because the
calculator searches through it and tweaks it a little bit. It removes
unnecessary spaces, and other stuff I'm not sure about. The calculator isn't
error checking, though. Once, I accidentally executed a program that I used
for notes, and I found that many of the spaces between words had been removed.
I'm not sure whether the TI-82 and TI-83 need to do this. They might not need
to, because on those calculators, the space character is not valid in any
command (except in strings) and causes a SYNTAX error.

Subject: 86 questions and answers
I got my new 86 yesterday. I have 2 questions. 1. After you write
or edit a program, the first time you run it; it takes a minute for
it to start. Anyone know why? The 92 does the same thing, but I
know it is checking for errors. The 86 doesn't catch them at this
point though. 2. Besides the catalog, does anyone know where the
logic commands are (and, or). The book is completely different than
the others. It is wider than it is tall. It is red. Of course I
haven't read it all, but it looks good.
