Transmitting Variables under Program Control
You can use a program containing GetCalc and SendCalc to transmit a variable from one
device to another.
SendCalc sends a variable to the link port, where a linked device can receive the
variable. The linked device must be on the Home screen or must execute
GetCalc from a
program.
You can use optional parameters with the SendCalc or GetCalc command to specify
either the USB port or I/O port. (See Appendix A for details.) If you do not include these
parameters, the TI-89 Titanium communicates through the USB port.

The following program uses
GetCalc and SendCalc. The program sets up two loops that
let the linked devices take turns sending and receiving/displaying a variable named
msg.
InputStr lets each user enter a message in the msg variable
