Tokenization simply replaces the commands you type with a shortened
piece of code. The program is slightly shorter as a result. I'm sure
you know that the TI-85, '86, and '92 allow you to type in commands
instead of forcing you to find the correct menu. This allows commands
that use several characters to take up less space.
