I'm using real(  for selecting fonts now. 

For those of you interested, Select(), like Output(), is a class 2 function.  It is difficult for a custom parser to work with class 2 functions.

Class 2 is a lot of Ti-Basic programming functions, such as If, While, End and Goto.  Output( is a class 2 function because you can't use it outside of a Ti-Basic program.  (A goof-up by the Ti-OS)

Oh, so it was just a mistake? I've always thought it was annoying how it couldn't be used from the homescreen.

It was done on purpose.  By goof-up, I mean that TI once again stinks at OS development

I guess they thought it would be best to disallow basic control/output commands from being used on the home screen. If I remember, some casio calcs allowed you to use those commands on the home screen, but I might be wrong. It might be more commands but not all.
