receiving calculator already has a program or list by the
same name as the one you are sending, the receiving calculator will show a

to rename, you must enter a new program name. (See Note 0G, step b.)
Note 0G • Entering a Program
Your calculator is like a small computer. You can instruct (or program) it to
do calculations or to communicate with other devices. What follows are not
instructions on how to write a program—they are instructions on how to enter
into your calculator a program that has already been written. You must be very
careful to enter the commands exactly as they are written. Changing the
program in any way will alter how it runs or may cause an error.
There are three ways to enter a program into your calculator. Two easy ways are
to download the program from either a computer or another calculator. To use
a computer, download the program from a CD-ROM or website directly into
your calculator by using TI Connect™ software. You will need the proper cable
to link your computer to your calculator. To use another calculator that has the
program in its memory, link the two calculators with a link cable and transfer
the program. (See Note 0F.) The third way is to enter a program manually by
following the steps below:
a. Press and arrow to
NEW.
