Connectivity 726
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 “Chat” Program
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.
