>Requirements
A TI-83 Plus with Ion istalled

>Installation
Send lowrcase.8xp to your calculator and run Ion.

>Description
Lowercase! is a simple little program that allows you to use
lowercase letters in the TI-83P OS.

>Use
When you run Lowercase! there are three options:
1)Enable Lwrcase
2)Dsable Lwrcase
3)Cancel
You can press 1,2, or 3. 1 will enable lowercase alpha
throughout the TI-83P OS. 2 disables lowercase alpha and 3
returns to Ion without changing the lowercase alpha state.

>Using lowercase aplha
Once lowercase alpha has been enabled press alpha twice from
the normal cursor (on the home screen, program editor, etc.)
to enter one alpha character. While the current cursor is in
lowercase alpha mode press 2nd then Alpha to enable lowercase
alpha-lock.

>Origin
I was playing around a while ago with CalcSys (by
the way I'd like to thank Dan Englender for this great app)
and I was looking at all the different system flags. I noticed
one under the get/send flags labeled 'lowercase' so I enabled
it. Surely enough all OS funtions now used lowercase. Although
it isn't mentioned anywhere in the manual nor in the OS the
TI-83P OS has, as far as I can tell, full implementation for
lowercase letters. I thought it was neat so I quickly whipped up
this program.

>History
All that is added in version 1.1 is an actual .asm file rather
than hex machine code. I converted the machine code to assembler
because someone asked me to make a Lowercase! for the regular 83.
But unfortunately the regular 83 OS doesn't support lowercase as
the 83P OS does. So dispite the fact that the asm source code which
I have included seems like it supports regular 83, it won't work.

>Thanks
I'd like to thank Dan Englender for the CalcSys app and
Joe Wingbermuehle for Ion, the first, and in my opinion, best
TI-83P shell.
