 objective:
  Hi folks .......another fine release ....a chat program.
  this relative simple program was made in my freetime as 
  an hobby and it shows the potenciality of this cool 
  calculator from Texas Instruments, please if you see 
  some mistakes and bad spell it is normal i'm Portuguese
  not English :.) i'm also a computer an eletronics university 
  student and i lost all my time studing and programming. 

  Hey don't stay looking, help me making more fine software, 
  if you are interested in this project contact me:
  destroy@portugalmail.com
  in the near future i want to pass this program to assembler
  because it will stay even more faster, and belive me he 
  now is faster almost 10X faster compared with the first rel-
  ease 0.1 

 How to run:
  -simply copy the Tlink.83p to your calculator
  -run the Tlink program
  -choose a nick name
  -the first calculator _must_ choose from the menu *Send*
   and the second calculator _must_ choose *receive* , preferencialy
   at the same time ... i noticed that some strange things ocorred if
   in one calculator was choose *Receive* and in the other nothing
   is choosen  
  -i do not know if this program is supported by TI-83 Plus, i think
   it works fine but if don't, let me know.
  releases history:
  -if you want to quit from the receiving menu press *del*
  -please if you want to exit the program, exit from the menu option
   exit, some people said to me that the window was all messed up
   after executing my program, if you don't want a messed window exit 
   from the exit option.
