Program-Related Features
- Intelligent Writeback extends your flash ROM’s lifetime and reduces Garbage Collect messages by only overwriting archived programs after execution if they have changed.
- Doors CS’ Associated Program feature lets you open files with their viewer, like clicking a document to open it with a word processing program, or a game level to open it in its game.
- HomeRun feature can run any BASIC or ASM program, archived, locked, or otherwise, from the TI-OS homescreen simply by executing prgmNAME.
- Instant Goto replaces the TI-OS’ slow Goto feature, and uses Doors CS’ 8-line BASIC editor.
- Archived programs are kept in ROM during execution, so ASM program crashes will not delete the program.
