        GFM-82--Gram Formula Mass

Description
-----------

        I got the idea to write this from Dan Eble, the original author of GFM
for the TI-85.  I decided to write the equivalent to his program for the
TI-82.  My version has support for two more characters in the Formula String,
prints the total on the next line, gets rid of leading zeros, and supports the
[2nd] key press for exclusive use in my version.  Despite the additions, my
program is smaller than Dan's!  I understand that the 85 assembly has to
include extra stuff concerning the PROGRAM_ADDR, but his version, I believe,
could have been shortened.  It otherwise includes every aspect of the TI-85
version, down to the two-decimal element data up to and including Uranium (U).
Later versions may include more elements.  I am currently working on a version
for the TI-85, but it's not done yet.


How to Use the Program
----------------------

        Key             What it represents      What displays on the
                        to the user or prog     calculator screen
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

        [MATH]..[2]     Alpha Characters        Uppercase Characters
[ALPHA]-[MATH]..[2]     Alpha Characters        Lowercase Characters
        [Y=]..[GRAPH]   Subscript Numbers       '1'..'5'
  [2nd]-[Y=]..[GRAPH]   Subscript Numbers       '6'..'9', '0'
                       Left Arrow              Backspace
        [(-)]           Negative Symbol         Prints next possible parenthesis
        [ENTER]         Process String          Total on next line
        [MODE]          Quit                    Quits to Assembly Shell


        Rule 1:
                The subscripts must be less than or equal to 255, otherwise it
                will return the difference of your number and 256
                (i.e. 259 => 259-256 = 003 or 3)


Compatibility
-------------

        The program works on ROM versions 17-19 and has not been tested on any
        others.  The program has been written for ASH 3.0 and will run on CrASH.
