NOTE: This ASM program was made for use inside of BASIC programs.

I am a TI-83 BASIC programmer. I like programming in BASIC much more than in ASM. However, when displaying text in a BASIC program, you are limited to the characters you can display. I knew that ASM could display those characters, so I made an ASM program (my first one too) to do the job. This program enables TI-BASIC programmers to display any of the calc's characters anywhere on the screen, in either big or small font.

How to run the program:

1. Send Char.83p to your calc.
2. Inside your BASIC program, you'll need to define some variables

   Z = character # (use Ahmed El-Helw's charmap program to find the #)

   V = font size (1=small, anything else=big)

   X = x-position on screen (big font 0-15, little font 0-90)

   Y = y-position on screen (big font 0-7, little font 0-57)

3. Insert the line:Send(9prgmZCHAR
