Quick Tip: Random New Features of OS 2.0

Welcome to the first quick tip post.  This is a new series/feature that I am adding to Lafacroft, and it will be quick bits of information that should prove to be helpful when using the TI-Nspire.

Today, I will be highlighting some lesser known new features of OS 2.0.

• When using Request or RequestStr, if the variable that you are using already contains a value, it will be displayed as a "default" value in the dialog box (thanks for Eric Findlay for this tip)
• You can now have multiple levels of folders for your documents, so it will be much easier to manage your documents
• The new Text command offers a second way of displaying information.  It uses a dialog box similar to the one used by Request and RequestStr
• Documents can now be made to be "Read Only", as well as store copyright information, making distributing files much easier, especially in a classroom setting (again, thanks to Eric Findlay for this tip)
• The computer software can be used to edit documents directly on the handheld, making it easy to edit files without the need to transfer documents
