[How do I comment code?]

You can include comment lines in TI-Basic by leading with a quote mark:

r*tan(df/2)->tl
"Compute tangent length
df/180*pi*r->cl
"Compute curve length

Problems:
A quoted comment is evaluated as a string but not assigned, so it slows
code down, as well as eating RAM. It gums up the Ans variable. It can't
include an assignment sign (the calc interprets this as assignment to a
string).
