Hey there, I know how to get input from the user like this:

Define LibPub cube(n)=
Prgm
Disp n, " ao cubo e igual a ", n^3
disp "by David"
EndPrgm
A small program made in portuguese.

I get the input from the user, because the user has to type:

cube(n)
I want another way to get input, like a box, where they enter a number or like a flashing cursor and they enter the value.

Thanks much!!
David

I think there's some dialog functions for that. I've never used Nspire OS 2.x, so I do not know what they are.

I've seen some dialog functions too, that's exactly what I want

Wasn't it something like Request() and RequestStr()? I'm not sure anymore.

Its: Request "x",a
Or for Strings: RequestStr "x",a
x is the message which is displayed
a is the name of the new variable which is given a value

up to now I've seen strings only in the function/prgm("hereismystring1","hereismystring2",...)
but not in the middle of the program to get strings...

You can use it par example like this

...
RequestStr "Name",name
...
Text "As the dusk arrived you heard someone shout"&name&",irritated you turned around..."
...

hope this doesn't sound to educational

Nice to know about it (=

Cool thank you for the info. I did not use OS 2.x and above a lot (the only OSes to have Request) so I wasn't too sure. Most of the time my TI-Nspire is in 84 mode and when it isn't I use OS 1.1.

Now I got, why it don't work in my calc ...
This is so far the first  advantage of 2.x that I know up to know.
And I will keep my trusty 1.7

If you're fine with your calc looking weird, you could buy the clickpad from TI ($10), and then use OS 1.1.

$10?
I would buy one for that price...

So would I
