That wouldn't be that hard would it? I'm no master on the send() and get() commands, but Im pretty sure all you'd need was something like:

Code:
:ClrHome
:Lbl A
:Disp Str1,Str2
:Input ("Say?",Str1 // Different on opposite calculator, but I didn't feel like making a menu to choose the Strings
:Send(Str1
:Get(Str2
:Pause
:Goto A

Obviously the code needs a bit of work, but in theory something like that should work...eh thinking on it that code wouldn't work at all...so uh...just use that as a general idea.

Couldn't you add a...

""->Str1
""->Str2
ClrHome
Lbl A
Disp Str1,Str2
Input "Say?",Str1
Str2->Str3
Send(Str1
Lbl 1
Pause // because you gotta pause before you can get it right?
Get(Str2
If Str3=Str2
Goto 1
Goto A

This would wait until the other player sends a DIFFERENT String and THEN would get out of pause rather than displaying nothing.
I'm not sure if it'd work like I planned because I forgot why I just did that...

Is it just me or is the name of this topic "Send/recieveless Chat Prog"?

Is it just me or is the only way of calc to calc communication possible in pure basic the GetCalc( command?

Why does everybody use the Send/Get commands without knowing what they do anyway?

I might do multiplayer although im not sure. The reason I think everybody uses get send commands without knowing what hey do is because they sound like thats what it would do.

Get( and Send( do what it sounds like they do, but to CBL/CBR. GetCalc( is what links two calcs together. It can only be used when the other calculator is paused/on homescreen/possibly in Input.

Why would somebody go to the trouble of writing a chat program so you can talk to someone six inches away?

What teacher lets you use your calculator on say... an english test? And also, why don't you just make a program for your test rather than buy a link for $25+?
