Could you have the lowercase alpha enabled as an option? I hardly ever use it, and it is annoying to have to hit alpha twice to cancel instead of just once.

I had it on permanently instead of as an option so that it wouldn't slow down the calculator. I re-enable lower case every time you press a button, so checking the option has to happen almost instantly. But, I looked around, and I found a spot in my ram appvar where I could put the flag. So, I should be able to add that option in.

Why do you set it at every keypress?

I don't actually need this feature myself, but a user asked in a topic on Cemetech how to disable APD. Perhaps disabling APD is a feature that would fit well into zStart?

That should be pretty easy. I can do that at the same time I do lowercase.

I found a bug today. You can't set a program with theta in it's name to run on RAM clear/turn on/zStart quit/on + num. In the zStart GUI, the theta shows up as U and this prevents the program from being found and run.

I forgot about theta, I have to admit though that I don't think this is a fixable problem. When I store the names of programs, I compress them to 6 bits per character. If you account for lower case, upper case, and numbers, that leaves me with 2 extra characters. I gave one of those to space and the other to zero (actual zero, not ascii 0). So, I hate to say it, but you'll probably just have to rename whatever you want to use.

What's space for?

Oh yeah, I guess applications could explain his support of lowercase letters, which completely didn't register with me when I read his post originally. But applications can actually have all sorts of characters in their names; I think just about any defined character is fair game. I know most applications only use the characters he listed, but certainly not all of them. If he wants to support applications, he should really toss out the bit-packing altogether.
