You're talking about subroutines and I'm talking about taking part of a program and pasting into another without using one. I didn't know that it looked for subroutines in the directory you're in, and then looked for them in directories above that one. So, they have it set up so that your subroutines can share the main programs directory and any above it. Wow, that's pretty ingenious and good to no. I would prefer to just use subroutines but it's kind of retarded having your programs look for them in directories above the current one. I can't store 20 subroutines in the same program directory as the main programs directory. So, can I put a directory on the first level and have all my subroutines found in that directory? That would make a little sense or do I have to use the ORDER command somehow to get it to find the special subroutine directory? I don't understand why you think that I think that I have to delete the subroutines when using the CASE construct. I've initialized the names used in a CHOOSE box with integers corresponding to the number of statements in the choose box so that I can direct each to a specific CASE number then at the end of the program I've PURGEd the names that got used as objects in CHOOSE box. That's the only way I could figure out how to get the CHOOSE box to go to a specific CASE number. I'm definitely not going to use that retarded INPUT statement to enter my data. You shouldn't have to PURGE any variables if you use compiled variables. I haven't tried doing that yet, have you? So evidentially you've never heard of anyone being able to cut and paste parts of a program into another. Is that true? I don't see how copying something could be classified as self-modifying a program. You can do it in any other programming language. It doesn't matter how long a subroutine is or how many times you call it into the main program. The only way that would be a problem is if your calculator is lacking memory and that can be remedied by simply getting an SD card formatted in FAT12 about 512K or so. I don't think the calculator can do much with anything above 512k to 1 Meg but I'm not totally for sure on that. Why are you so hung up on memory usage? Is someone going to spank you, if you use memory unwisely or something? I'm trying to write a stupid program that works. I don't care if Billy Bob at the CNC shop is psychotic or not and keeping a tally of unnecessary commands.
