I'm not worried about T. I'm worried about the fact that {...} can cut off the end of a two byte token, and {...}r can be one of three things:

 1: two one-byte tokens
 2: a one-byte token followed by the first half of a two-byte
 3: a two byte token.

I also need to know how much to increment my 'PC'... which is a pointer to the next token in the program string.

hey you know the thing Axe does when you select compile from the menu? How do I do that...
Spoiler For irony:
...in Axe?

Do you mean how the selection bar moves up and down smoothly? I could maybe dig up my xLIB xLIB Revolution menu code later, although it's in BASIC+xLIB. Maybe someone could convert it to Axe. :P

no no no no no!!!
I thought my hints were clear enough... I meant AFTER you press 2nd/Enter while the cursor is over the 'compile' option.

...and I'm not talking about the transition effect :P (epic fade effect dude, its almost faster than ASM)

Spoiler For if my hints are insufficient:
Ok how do I parse the VAT searching for programs? Or just force open the prgm menu and get the prgm name as output?

Ah i see, you're joking.  I assume you are asking how to compile programs in Axe?

I think the second option is best... for now at least.

It's very easy to do actually, with the RectI( command. I normally just use a subroutine like

Code: [Select]
:For(A,0,9
:RectI(X,Y,width,height
:Y-W->Y
:RectI(X,Y,width,height
:End

You just flip the sign of W to make it move up or down.

Ah I see lookitsan00b, it wasn't too clear to me. I just couldn't find anything special to replicate past the title screen sequence. Also what is the transition effect? I never saw any on my 83+ or Nspire O.O

Sorry, a bit of sarcasm there. Scr1 -> Scr2 + Low_quality_LCD = barely perceptible fade effect. :P

Oh I see now. This is normal with that kind of LCD. The fade effect is a good thing, though, for grayscale, else grayscale would be impossible if it faded instantly.

Quick question: Which is faster:
Code: (Example 1) [Select]
For(C,0,10)
  Code...
  If A
    If B
      Do something...
    End
  End
End

versus

Code: (Example 2) [Select]
For(C,0,10)
  Code...
  If A and B
    Do something...
  End
End

(If it helps, in both examples, the chances of A or B being true are about 1 in 6, but the chances of both of them being true at the same time are about 1 in 36 (well, approximately - probability isn't my strongest point))
My website: Currently boring.

Projects:
Axe Interpreter
   > Core: Done
   > Memory: Need write code to add constants.
   > Graphics: Rewritten.  Needs to integrate sprites with constants.
   > IO: GetKey done.  Need to add mostly homescreen IO stuff.
Croquette:
   > Stomping bugs
   > Internet version: On hold until I can make my website less boring/broken.

The first is faster, since 5 out of 6 times the program isn't even *looking* to see what B is.  This is known as short circuit evaluation and can come in very handy :)
