Apps Desktop on TI-89
There's a couple of different ways to display the Apps screen on your calculator, one of which uses icons and is refered to as the Apps Desktop, and the other which uses a standard drop-down menu.
To toggle the Apps Desktop on and off you can go to Menu screen, and all the way at the bottom is an option to control it.
Basically the only difference seems to be how it looks visually and how long it takes to find something. In the Apps Desktop mode you just have to find the icon of the program that you're looking for, and press enter to run it. However, all the programs show up in this screen.
When you have Apps Desktop turned off however, you are presented with the all too familiar drop-down list.
The only difference is that its organized into a list, and the Flash applications are separated from the rest, but you can use Diamond+Apps to go directly there. The reason I personally leave the desktop turned though is because i can just hit the number of the program I want to launch without scrolling around. For instance to get directly to the Data/Matrix Editor, you can just type in "6."

I actually find that ridiculously useful, thanks. On a similar note, Mr. Karafiol mentioned that the manual for the TI-89 was up on the site somewhere, do you know where?
