There's plenty more... First, the TI-82 can only display upper-case strings
on the screen - no lower or mixed case strings. Also, on the TI-82; if you
put two variables against each other, the calculator multiplies them. (On a
TI-85, variables are longer than one character, and so this can not be done
unless you use parentheses to seperate the variables.)
Porting a program from the 82 to the 85 takes plenty of time if the program
multiplies variables by putting them against each other...
