I recently got a TI-89 Ti calculator and I've been trying to install games on it for hours. The game in question is "Tankers" I read through the FAQ and it lead me to the tutorial. So I went and downloaded a shell program to run the game, the program being "Preos". This is where I'm stuck. I cant install it. I've followed the read me with the program and it said:

+ Send Preos.89z / stdlib.89z (or .9xz files) to your calculator.
+ Archive these files in your SYSTEM folder (usualy 'main').
+ Press 'preos()' to install it in the home application. If a kernel is already installed, PreOs won't do anything. You should uninstall it before (See the uninstall doc of your previous kernel).
+ PreOS will save a lot of information about the calc, check if the libraries are outdated, install a crash handler and install itself as a TSR (Terminate Stay Resident).

I did step 1 but now im lost. What did the author mean by "press 'preos()'" in step 2? If he meant go to the applications menu, i did, and found nothing. Help would greatly be be appreciated!

You can type "preos()" and hit enter. That should work.

You need to download levels and place them on your calculator in the appropriate folder.
