Nice to see it fixed Ztrumpet. What was the issue?
I had something like {L1+C} when it should have been {L1+C+B}.

* Deep Thought asks SirCmpwn if this could be a potential KOS feature request?
* ZTrumpet seconds this awesome request.

oh, because it has to be converted to basic type number when you store into Ans?
Yes, and it is also storing to a TIOS variable, making it larger and slower. 
If you store to an "Axe Var", then you're just changing the content of two, easy to use bytes. 
Ans takes memory for the exponent and for negation, plus seven bytes of data, many of which are unnecessary since Axe only allows storing 2-byte integers (between 0 and 65535). These are first stored to OP1 (I think), then all nine bytes of data (including seven which would otherwise have been unnecessary) have to be moved to Ans, so it's a lot slower. Storing to an Axe variable location is just that: it simply copies the two bytes over there
The only reason I can see for storing to Ans within an Axe program is to make the returned value available to the user (for example, as a subroutine for BASIC programs written in Axe).
Almost, but not quite. For example, in Axe, the number 65535 would be FF FF, but in Ans it looks like $00 $84 $65 $53 $50 $00 $00 $00 $00. Because the TIOS stores this number so oddly, Axe has to take even more time to convert it.

Is there some way to make the calculator boot off a thumb drive? Or maybe some new 3rd-party OS could add that functionality. It's possible. I'm pretty sure you could hook into the OS just right to make it boot off a flash drive. However, I'm pretty sure it would be incredibly complex but it would be awesome. (If I'm wrong, please correct me! (Sorry for stealing your line, ztrumpet, but there's a really good chance I'm wrong since I have absolutely no idea what I'm talking about.))
lol, that's pretty much why I leave that line there. I do things like this too...

Complete use of define and equ. I really want those if they aren't already planned.

This reminds me: I really need to read this (and probably print this out). The beta contains everything so far, correct?

Yes! I found and fixed the problem! Tomorrow I'll upload the finished (and final) version.

If her friend got made at her for damage to the calculator, that would absolutely stink
The article says: The friend who loaned Pittenger the calculator said she need not buy a replacement.

Hmm, is the SAD one okay?

nemo, I believe both in Axe are bitwise. The plot-style ones are just 16-bit whereas the normal ones are 8-bit.
I'm pretty sure (but not 100%) that nemo's right. Quigibo? Edit: He was wrong, and so was I... almost 100% != correct...
