| Is there a way in basic to make a program run when the calculator is turned on without using an app like StartUp?? |

| In pure Basic No. It is not possible because basic does not have that kind of control over the calculator. |

In assembly, yes.
It is extremely coplicated, and I do not understand all of it yet.
It essentially involves puttign code in an appvar and using putaway and partialputaway, and the homehook.
Michael V has been the only person besides TI that has actually made a program load on startup. |

Do not forget that there is a TI-83+ Application named "Start-up" which allows you to do this kind of things :
you can launch a prgm, an ASM prgm, another Application, or a picture. Concerning the picture, you can wait 2sec, 5sec or wait for a keypress !
It is a pretty application !
oh, and I found it on TI-83SE, but you can also put it on your TI-83+  |

If you had actually read the thread instead of just the subject line, you might have noticed without using an app like StartUp in the original post.  |

You can do it in assembly, but I believe it must be in app form.
The knowledge is, however, extremely archaic.
The information needed is at least 3 times more difficult to attain.
If I started tracking it down now, it may take me 6 months to figure it out. |

Anyone who dosen't understand the asm way of Start-Up
DI ; Disable Interrupts
(Turn off the screen)
bcall(_getKey)
EI ; Enable Interupts
;Program code... |

| its probably more complicated than a bcall(_getkey) bcuz [2nd]+[0n] doesnt mess it up and it only responds to the [On] key. same basic idea though. |

Tylers' code would require you to run a program with that code in it, which turns the calculator of and resume the rest of the program's code when you turn it back on.
DI ; disable interrupts
LD A,001H
OUT (003H),A ; turn off screen
LD A,000H
OUT (004H),A
EX AF,AF'
EXX
EI ; enable interrupts
RET
(from asmguru)
This would work better I think but still needs you to run the program to turn it off and have it do stuff when you turn it back on. |

| startup uses the offscrpt avar, which the OS checks, and executes the program. |
