It seems like it'd be legal. To use Length, you'll have to add a meaningless 0 to the end of GDB1. (Length searches for a zero) You'd also have to make sure none of the other bytes in GDB1 are 0.
Since I don't feel like comprehending your code, I'll just tell you that the lines with getkey's on them can be N+getkey(3)-getkey(2)->N and O+getkey(3)-getkey(2)->O. Actually, because the keys might be released just in time to be different (I've had this problem) you should use the lines
Code: [Select]
N+(getkey(3)-getkey(2)->T)->N
O+T->O
Provided you don't need T elsewhere, of course.
I might try to resolve your main problem later.
Good luck with your entry!
Edit: For clarification, that code stores the result of the keypresses in T, then reuses the value. (Embedded store statements are allowed, and can often be more optimized)

Welcome to omnimaga!
That is indeed possible, though I'm curious as to what you'd be using it for. (Just asking)
I recommend you introduce yourself in the Introduce Yourself subforum. :)

The problem with basicbuilder is that it can only generate one-page apps. If his programs can't fit in 24KB of RAM, there is no way they can fit in the 16KB of a one-page app.
SirCmpwn, sounds cool! Can't wait to hear more about it!

Yeah, that's about the best way to do it, unless you really like writing ASM programs :P

Sneaky, TI, sneaky. You did it (math print) so much better for the 73, which is just an 83+, really.
BrandonW could fix some compat problems, but not the slowness...
Goodness, I am somewhat surprised they ever officially endorsed ASM, anyway...

They could, but are unlikely. If they do, it will be very difficult for them to prevent downgrades because of [ON]+DEL, not to mention the boot code's unchangeability and, as far as I know, the certificate can't be changed to support only certain OS versions, not to mention there's always a certain boot code exploit to allow you to run arbitrary code.
I am less sure about the 68k series, which someone with more expertise in that area can answer.

*calcdude opens his coding environment and dons his lobster rage fists :P
On a more serious note, this is indeed ridiculous, and reminded about this article: http://www.fsf.org/bulletin/2007/fall/antifeatures/ about "anti-features"

I'm not sure Ndless is that well-known. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it's probably because TI just hates us, as they have demonstrated multiple times, including a lack of documentation for newer models and the recent key-signing controversy.
Our relationship with TI is a love/hate one, or, in other words, that of a hacker. ;D

^ Many of us are opposed to the mere idea of taking repeated action against user freedom. We believe it to be unethical.

Ndless 2 hasn't been released yet and might not be for a while. In addition, later versions of the OS might do similarly.
The other reason it's bad is just the conceptual part of it. For example, I object to Apple despite never having owned anything of theirs.
In short, the actual restriction and what our philosophies are.

Nice, DJ. Very necessary, I think. TI has crossed the line.
Wow, I just read about something related earlier today while deciding whether to license a new project as GPLv2 or GPLv3. Specifically tivoization, which refers to putting free software on a device but not allowing a modified version to be put on the device (this refers to TiVo, of course)
I agree that one shouldn't be prevented from using a device as they wish. (This is a reason I don't like cell phones, b/c you can't easily change the OS) I, therefore, am against this move (as is most, if not all, of the calc community) and, despite not owning an Nspire, believe that this is wrong on TI's part.
I'll get off my soapbox. :P
Digg it, fellow forum members!

Given that 2.1 doesn't work on the goplat's emulator, there probably is something being done w/the BIOS.
Bad TI, bad...

Just to show what I know of calculators, I thought (for a moment) that you meant http://www.ticalc.org/archives/news/articles/14/145/145869.html when you said Unity. :P
The redesigning hardware one sounds interesting...

ah, that one. I've seen it myself, so no surprise.
Always amusing to see, though. ;D
Edit: The "Did you mean:" line for http://lmgtfy.com/?q=recursion is also amusing
