I was wondering how to use the new libShortcut() command on the ti
nspire. I tried to use it based on the catalog description of it, but
it never worked. any help would be appreciated! Also, recently, I
got an offer to receive a free teachers copy of the ti nspire and ti
nspire cas computer software. It was legit, and from TI, and I was
wondering if anybody else got this, or how you would get it, because
my friend has a ti nspire and would definitely like a copy of the
software. thanks!

You type libShortcut("library","shortcut")
and this defines a shortcut, named "shortcut" for the library called "library".
Now you can call any function or variable from the library typing
shortcut.variable
(shortcut DOT variable name)

Note that the library file must be installed on the MyLib folder and you must refresh the libraries before defining any new shortcuts.

I must confess I'm not a big fan of how this works, I'd like to have autocomplete for the file names. Also we must define the shortcut everytime we create a new document. I'd prefer to have the shortcuts defined on the system's settings or something like that, so that I don't have to define all the shortcuts over and over again...

Hope this helps.

I received this offer by email, and the software (indeed, for free),
but I believe that this offer has expired. It was an email with a
link to an order form.

I believe it has been extended until December 15th. Contact 1-800-TI-
CARES or check their website.

Thanks Nelson! It seems like there isn't a Ti Nspire related problem
that you can't solve. You're Awesome!
