System Documentation

Edit Buffers are used to provide data I/O with a file on the TI-83 Plus system. The edit entry point documentation provides specific information on each edit entry point, but this document provides a general overview. Check out the System Input Routine for an example of edit buffers in action.
The System Monitor is not used by default in applications, but by using it apps can receive put away notification or have menus/catalog in an input routine. Specific information on monitor entry points is available above.

Routines

This Input Routine allows an app to obtain input like the home screen. The catalog and all menus are accessable, and input is done with tokens, not characters like the input routine from the UI Guideline sample routines. The routine also uses a softkey menu and can be customized for individual applications.
The UI Guideline routines are meant to help developers create user interfaces that comply with TI-83 Plus UI standards. Routines included: List View, Message Box, Numbered Menu, Selection List, String Input (not as versitle as the input routine above), Soft Key.
