Something Grrrrrreat!

So, I was trying to make a program until I came across an accident that could be programming-life changing. On the graph screen, if you input text and slam an answer (Real, imaginary, complex, string, doesn't matter) on the home screen, you just put the graph image on the home screen, w/o using any assembly programs or libraries! Consider this Celtic III program as an example:

ClrHome
AxesOff
PlotsOff
FnOff
1+real(11        //Gets the calculator model being used, 0 being the 83+, 1 being the 83+SE, 2 being the 84+, 3 being the 84+SE,
Text(15,0,"TI-"+sub("83+**83+SE84+**84+SE",5Ans-4,5    //Replace * with spaces
det(4,3        //Gets the OS version. Kind of buggy, still works
expr(sub(Ans,1,1)+"."+sub(Ans,3,2→A      //gets rid of the "CubigReg", replaces with a decimal and turns it to a real number
If max(Ans={2.53,2.55:det(1,Ans)+"MP    //det(1,... converts any real numbe or list to a string, works like the 84+CE toString() command
Text(22,0,Ans
det(4      //Free RAM
If Ans>999
det(1,iPart(.001Ans))+"K
Text(29,0,"RAM FREE:   ",Ans    //3 spaces between : and "
det(4,1      //Free ROM (Archive)
If Ans>999
det(1,iPart(.001Ans))+"K
Text(29,0,"ROM FREE:   ",Ans    //3 spaces between : and "
"Welcome!

Pretty cool, huh? I'm suprised the OS would allow you to do this. This could be a good idea for a warm-welcome for a start-up program!

The fact that you use a Celtic III program as an example doesn't really demonstrate the ability to do this w/o libraries.
Also, could you elaborate on what "input text on the graph screen and slam an answer on the home screen" means so we can reproduce the effect?

The solution to a complex problem is often a simple answer.

Verified this works without Libraries:

Still, won't think this is a cool discovery I made? Or was this already found out?

I mean, I don't really see any use for it. Especially since using the home screen will erase parts of the graph as it gets used, and pressing clear removes the effect

Also I just confirmed that it doesn't work at all on the CE, and probably not the CSE either.

It does work on the CSE, according to WabbitEmu. However, this could be a great idea for a fake RAM cleared screen for users… Just saying. :P

Do you know what this sprite is? I've seen it in other programs I've made and I think it has to do with DCS, but I haven't seen anything about it the DCS documentation.

I tried running this variation after pressing the GRAPH button, and it showed the axes, the function I had in Y₁, and the capital A at a random location. Pressing ON clears the screen, and places the sprite I linked to in the top left corner of the screen. Pressing GRAPH clears the screen first and then redraws the axes and equations. You have to run the code below again or use the DispGraph command in a program to see it. Exiting the program by pressing any other key preserves the graph screen's new contents.

Text(randInt(10,50),randInt(10,50),"Test
"Answer
Repeat getKey
End
