Loacal variables (and the idea of self-contained functions without
"side-effects") only became available to TI users with the TI-92.
The 92 provides a much more sophisticated programming environment
(error trapping, for example).

If you want to do recursive-type applications on the TI-86 you will
have to "fake" it (build your own stacks, etc.)
