The premier periodic table program for TI-85 assembly (Usgard)

This is the entire periodic table, elements 1-112
There are four ways to look for an element.  Use the function
keys to select which method.  1st, you can do an intelligent name search.
It is "intelligent", because you only need to type in as many letters as the
calc needs to figure out which element it is.  (But for those first few
letters, spelling is important).  Capitalization is always automatic.  This
is great for all you lazy people, because you shouldn't have to type in more
than a few.  2nd, you can do a symbol search or (3rd) and atomic
number search.  I group these two together because they work the same way.
If your entry is less than three characters (example: "Pb") you must press
[Enter] after the entry.  It will automatically do it for you if you type in
a three character entry.  The 4th (and my personal favorite) way of looking
for an element is to just use the arrow keys and move the black dot around
on the chart.  Very easy.
	To find out the electron shell configuration for a given element, just
press [F4].  You can use the arrow keys to scroll through the different
elements.  Note:  Shells are only listed for elements 1-96.  Pressing [Exit]
will bring you back to the main screen.  Please tell me what you think of the
program, distribute it freely, and tell me instantly about any bugs.
