This is the first of 2 programs on Hidemess and Findmess progroms for the TI 99 4/A computer.. Click below to read the other program
The Hidemess program accepts up to 120 characters and stores them in Characters 128 to 143. Since the TI 99 4/A keeps those character patterns between programs, as long as it is powered up, they can be found by tanother program. See below on how to read that program.
