Well, third time's a charm.   It's my third time trying to build it and it
finally works!

I dunno bout that.  It's faster graphing, nice clean image simulation,
programming is easier once you figure out where the keys are they kind of
make sense...and what if you've misplaced your TI and you just want to get a
feel for it?

Actually the keypress to recongition is a little slow and iffy.

I'm going to investigate if it'll do Z-shell; Tetris and all that.

Thanks for the help nXt, got me over the bump.
