to execute SetUpEditor , which clears the stat
editor. This command removes all list names from the stat editor and
then restores list names
L1 through L6 to columns 1 through 6 .
When selecting an item from a menu:
• Press the number or letter for that item. Suppose you need fMax(
from the MATH menu. The script runs faster if you use

key presses) instead of
 † † † † † † Í
(eight key
presses).
When starting an application from within a script:
• If you share the script with other people using TI-SmartView™
software on different computers, remember that their
APPLICATIONS menus may not list the same applications in the same
order. Pressing
Œ
4 to start an application on your TI-SmartView™
may not start the same application on theirs.
• Instead, have your script press
Œ
to display the APPLICATIONS
menu and then use a text point telling the user to select the
appropriate application from the list.
At the end of a script:
• Insert a Pause command. This is particularly useful if a script displays
text points that you want the user to see after the script finishes.
Otherwise, text points are closed automatically at the end of a script.
Note: When resetting the memory, clear only the applicable portion of
the memory. Using
y L

to reset all RAM is not required in most
situations.
