Using TIcomm
------------

Command line syntax:

TIcomm needs to know two things: the model of your calculator, and the
device file which it's using.

run as: ticomm <model> <filename>

examples:      ticomm 89 /dev/ti (ti89 connected to /dev/ti)
	       ticomm 92 /dev/ttyS0 (ti92 connected to /dev/ttyS0 (COM1))

Within TIcomm:

After successfully starting (you'll have a Command: prompt), the
following options are available:

c -- command mode (see command.txt)
s -- send variable
r -- receive variable
l -- list all files
f -- list all folders
q -- quit
h/? -- help

Sending:

after pressing 's', enter the filename which you'd like to send.  this
file must be some sort of ti variable (extension .89? or .92?).  PIC
variables are not supported, and will not work.

Receiving:

after pressing 'r', you will be prompted for the variable.  this
should be entered in the form of folder\variable....

for example, if you wanted the variable bar, in the folder foo, you
would enter foo\bar....  anything in the folder "main" should be
specified as main\varname...

you will be asked the variable type.  this is the letter which would
be in the extension, were it already saved...  ('t' for text, 'p' for
program, 'e' for expr, etc).

at this point, the variable will be downloaded and saved into a file
named something like varname.89x...  (or .92x)....

if foo\bar were text, it would be saved as bar.89t (or .92t).

Listing:

f or l will list all files, or all folders, respectively.  I've not
figured out enough of the protocol to list an individual folder yet.
alas.
