Is it possible to delete the entry list on a 83+ (the 2nd/Enter that brings up the last 4 commands or so)? Garbage collecting doesn't work, and I don't really want to clear the RAM every time.
I'm asking this because it relates to my difficulties with MirageOS compatibility. The programs run fine, but when I get to a spot that prompts variables or other entries, the last command or two pop up, then the program text pops up over it, so all I see is a jumbled mess.

ClearEntries, it's on the catologe(I know it's spelled wrong) menu.

I think it may be in the memory menu as well. ([2nd]+[+]+[3])

Uh...what's ironic about that is that the Clear Entries command is an entry in itself, so it doesn't help any!!

Ok, thanks for that (it works), but this is for doing so within the program or something without the user having to follow the steps every time before starting the program. Plus, even though that works, apparently when there's a page with displayed text and an input thing ("A="/"Z is: "/etc), the display text comes up, then the prompt/input text comes up over that so I can't see the display text. Can this be fixed?
BTW, the newest version of MirageOS is 1.1, right?

To the best of my knowledge, MirageOS have never really liked BASIC programs. The text might not appear on the top lines, or, like you said, garbled text appears.

A slight note, maybe if you try to write your text using the draw menu....

I've never had any problems with MirageOS and BASIC, i've occassionally got junk text when exiting out of mirageOS to homescreen, but nothing clear doesn't solve.

As for the Draw menu, that would certainly take a while considering everything except for a couple things are Disp, and I'm not all that skilled with prompting and entering variables and such using Text.
Spiral, what kinds of things did you use to make MirageOS-compatible BASIC programs effective (or just what did you do, for that matter)? Just to give me a few ideas...

i didn't write much basic, i only used like a distance/midpoint/slope BASIC program from mirage, very simple and no tlikely to screw up.

Did you use Text or Disp, or did you just prompt variables and the like? If it's the latter...uh...nevermind then. :img23:
