I'm just curious, but does axe already have a function to absorb TI-OS Strings?

as butts noted in the help axe optimize thread, there should be an option for upside down text!!! :D

Upside down text doesn't sound like anything programs would be using most of the time, and therefore a much better candidate for an Axiom.

As an aside, I've been seeing a fair amount of feature requests popping up recently that would be perfect candidates for Axioms.  This is the entire reason Axioms were created in the first place, so Axe wouldn't become a language filled to the brim with dozens of highly specific functions, and also to help ease the burden of coding off of Quigibo.  New feature requests should be restricted to changes to the compiler/syntax that would be impossible to achieve via Axiom, such as Conditional Goto's, or Switch statements.

I think there should be an option to turn off peephole optimization.

There is, just press Zoom instead of Enter when you compile

Press the ZOOM key instead of whatever key you normally press to compile (2nd or Enter) ;)

It's not really necessary as you can just press ZOOM every time. It's the same number of keypresses as compiling with the peephole optimizations, and wouldn't require you to fiddle with options.

ah. I just had a time when I pressed zoom, it didn't work. D:
Maybe I pressed it at the wrong time or something.

Don't know if these have been suggested in the last 180 pages, but white lines and/or invert lines. Also, use memory locations in for loops, currently it says invalid token when I try to use a memory location.
It is bad luck to be superstitious.

Or maybe you have a version without ZOOM?

I don't like the idea of importing programs because program variables generally store, well, program code, and you can import them with the prgm command. As for strings, I think that makes sense, but unfortunately strings in the TI-OS are token strings, while Axe and ASM strings are character strings, which are different except for the uppercase letters, digits, and theta.
Code can easily be created to turn an OS string into a character string. I do that in a few of my projects and I am wondering if Quigibo already has code in Axe to do that (can appvars with lowercase names be created?)...

EDIT:... or accessed?

Feature request:enable to type tokens instead of finding them in menu.

Most likely not added since they would most likely interfere with routines. Also would need a huge stack x.x
