As in, Axe Source?

You could, it would be reasonably difficult, but not impossible.

What format is the data in?

Something else; Normally Axe will save changes, but if you get a compile error and scroll to with prgm, it won't save any setting changes. This is sometimes annoying, at least for me, because often I find myself accidentally compiling apps...

Something that would be nice:  run indicator going while it's in the process of "Writing APP..."
Occasionally it seems frozen

^^ This. Especially since I have encountered scenarios where it really was frozen (well, I waited 10 minutes before pulling a battery, thankfully archive remained uncorrupted)

Doesn't the returned string have size bytes just like any other variable? It's just a temporary string variable.

Huh, I always thought it just pointed the appropriate location in L5.

I wonder if this will really promote good behavior....Maybe we should have a post limit for this so random users can't go and delete everything. But it is a pretty nice idea.

The fact that transferring to the comp adds a header isn't a big issue; you can just delete them. The main problem I am having is that sending .txt's to your calc adds a bunch of seemingly garbage characters to the beginning of the program...

Thanks everyone.

I'm currently working on the NPC conversation editor...(which was what gave me the idea for Notepad...). The editing part works fine, but I can't get it to save the data properly...

This is a little side project I've been working on; a simple word-processor for 83+/84+ (written in Axe of course)

Features/Controls
Letter keys: Type stuff. Insert mode is on by default
Alpha: Cycle between lowercase, caps, and numeric mode. Use XT0N for exclamation points. In numeric mode, you can also type parenthases, commas, carrots, squared key = sign with MATH, and the operation symbols. Lowercase mode is auto-activated after typing a single letter in uppercase mode for your convenience.
2nd: Jump immediately to caps mode.
Enter: Newline
Del; Backspace
Graph: Your keyboard's End button
Trace: Your Home button
Y= Open the file menu, where you are greeted with a full filesystem. You can open, save, create new, or save your text file as a program, protected program, or appvar.

Although the program is less than 5k, I packaged it as an app too, for convenience. But there's also the no-stub version attached to this post.

The files this creates are *supposed* to be compatible with real notepad files (.txt), but I have to work out some flaws/glitches in it. I am also planning to add a symbol menu for characters such as $,%,$, etc.

Do not try and create/open files that are >8kb. Also, this is kinda unstable in random places, so back-up before using

^we already did that lol

lolololl
