Write a program that, without using matrix variables except Ans for storage, will generate an N×N exchange matrix given N in Ans.
My attempt was at 41 bytes plus program name.

Exchange matrix - a "reversed" identity matrix with the 1s along the other diagonal.
Also, I've got 37 bytes.

| I've also got 37. You started with the identity matrix and then rowswapped, right? |

It turns out what I had was optimizable to the 37 bytes the rest of you got. :o
(edit: Whoops, I goofed. Back to the drawing board.)

If you let me output to the homescreen instead of a matrix variable...
I can get 36 bytes, including program name. |

Ah, but if you let me output to the graph screen using black pixels to represent 1 and white pixels to represent 0...
I can get 29 bytes plus the length of the name. |

AxesOff
ZInteger
Line(Ans,Ans,1,1
22 bytes. Totally valid.
[EDIT]
Sure, you could add in FnOff, PlotsOff, and GridOff...

| I was thinking with the matrix starting from the top left corner. But that works too. |

With your methods, how do I know that you don't have a matrix the size of the screen with a bit that looks like the exchange matrix in the middle?
Anyway, mine's fairly easy. I forgot that my name was >1 character, so it's 34 bytes with a one-byte name.
Code:
For(A,1,Ans
Disp seq(X=Ans-A+1,X,1,Ans
End
