Sorry you cant edit it with basic unless you have a program like CodeX to go along.
BUTyou can clear the RAM by this:
Make a program called: ABC
heres the code you need to put in it
Code:
Asm(prgmXYZ)
Ok now make the program: XYZ
heres the code you need to put in it
Code:
AsmPrgm
Ok you can find all thoes functions under the Cataloge andyou can find "prgm" under the prgram key while making program ABC |

that isnt really clean clearing the ram it simply crashes the calc and because of that it clears the ram...

| it wont really do any harm it just crashes your calc...( that wouldnt be good either but....) |

This is taken almost straight out of Codex (I take no credit for the code and instead give it all to Justin W.) but is much smaller so you can type it into the calc. easily.
Code:
AsmPrgm
EFD74A
EFEF4A
7B
324784
C618
F6C0
D310
C9
then compile it. To use write a number 0-39 then run, for example 24:Asm(prgmCONTRAST. It will set the contrast to the number you wrote (0 lightest, 39 darkest, 24 my usual setting). |

What I wrote can be typed into the program editor on-calc, since it's hexadecimal. I've never programmed assembly on the computer either, which is why I still know little Asm. I imagine you'd be able to use Microsoft Notepad.

| yeah you would use a WYSIWYG editor (a.k.a Notepad) . And then you would need a compilers . . .such as TASM and you can get that all @ the Cirrus Website with their SDK. |

Every time I try that empty asm program thing it just says done, it doesn't crash. |

After the AsmPrgm line, just type random hexcodes.
Always works for me. |

Hm...that didn't work either, but a blank program with no AsmPrgm did.
EDIT: I tried it again and the radom thing worked and not the blank thing. VTI is mesed up

| no, you are requesting the virtual calc to process in asm, and, well, vti isnt the best at asm... |

| What about rst 00h? Isn't the whole point of that instruction to reset the ram? |

There is actually a bjump for it; unfortunatly, I cannot remember it :(
Michael Vincent figured it out by analysing Texas Instruments App, Testguard.
Here is how Texas Instruments does it:
bjump(404Eh)
That is a perfectly clean ram clear. It takes TIOS and tells it to jump to the page containing the clear routine, which starts at 404Eh. TIOS then prepares a few things like the VAT/archive... erases the user area of memory ... and Ram Cleared.
The calculator does not crash, it will simply reset! |

| Why did TI write the Clear Ram routine? Couldn't someone take it out so the ram wouldn't clear every time you have an assembly error? |

That might work, but that might not work!
let us say you ran this program first.
ld a,$C9
ld (usermem),a
ret
Well, your program wouldn't do a a thing! :)
What you have is not even a program.
Here is how it works:
You set the PC counter to usermem, where the calculators processor flys through the ram looking for instructions. It either finds instructions, and executes them, or it keeps encountering nop...nop...nop until it reaches the 8k limit after which the hardware resets the calulator.
There could be harmful instructions left in usermem, so you really should not run a program like that because all it does is cause a run away in which the CPU starts executing whatever it can! |

No it isn't
You don't want it to crash because then the user usually has to press he ON key to turn the calc back on.
It is better just to have it clear not crash and reboot. |

But all that really matters is that we can quickly do it on a friend's calc.  |
