If you could expand TI-Basic...

Just out of curiosity, what would happen to TI-Basic in general if it was expanded?

What I would add to the language:

• getBattery - Gets the battery level of the calculator (0-4)
• getOS - Reads the current OS version and puts the string in Ans
• readLine( - Reads any line or multiple lines from a program
• chngLine( - Replaces a line in an unarchived program
• delLine( - Deletes a line or multiple lines from a program
• sprite( - Displays a sprite with a hex string, given the x and y coords
• lockPrgm( - Toggles lock status of program
• hidePrgm( - Toggles lock status of program
• getCalc( - An existing command, but takes 1-3 seconds in receiving a variable, would be better if receive time was instant
• shiftScreen( - Shifts the graph screen in a certain direction and a certain amount of steps
• TextInvOn TextInvOff - Toggles text inversion on the home screen
• Token( - Outputs a token in a string in Ans based on the input hex value
• toString( - Wish for 84+
• Wait - Wish for 84+ ass well
• PrgmToAppv - Converts program to an app var
• AppVtoPrgm - Opposite of previous command
• sound( - Plays sound through the I/O port
• CopyEntry( - Copies a saved entry from the home screen and pastes it to Ans
• getRAM - Reads current RAM storage
• getROM - Reads current Archive storage

If you have any other commands, post them here!

• I'd like the ability to set up menu types and fonts, with the ability to edit them in some kind of editor.
• More variables!
• It would be nice if there was some way to create folders for programs so that you can hide away subprograms and such.
• In terms of commands:
  • DelAll(type) deletes all variables of a certain type, maybe 1 for normal variables, 2 for lists, 3 for strings, and 4 for matrices.
  • (For color screens) colored text on the home screen
  • Input options for the graph screen
  • Debug (before program name; runs program step by step letting you find errors)
  • Timer commands can give fractions of seconds (maybe to the hundredths place?)
  • Brightness(level) sets the contrast/brightness of the screen
  • ClearGraph resets the graph screen to standard zoom, turns off functions and axes, and all the good stuff like that
  • rbgColor(r, b, g) for the color calcs would let you use rbg values instead of the default colors that are extremely limiting.
    • To build off the above idea, there could be color variables (maybe you could change the default ones?)
