This is a small project I made for personal use, but I'll post it here anyway in case someone finds it useful.
It displays a text file in the Examples directory (any file with name of the form *.txt.tns). You can scroll down through the file, but not up :(
To use, find a text file, rename it with a .txt.tns extension, and send it to Examples. Then run the program and select the file from the list.
The program is Non-CAS only, since there are no CAS symbols for the directory listing functions yet.

Some sort of Notepad for Nspire?

I thought there were non-cas symbols for directory listing?

Looks nice bwang!
I will try this if I ever get ndless working on the CAS rom in the emulator!
Great job :)
-

Not really. No editing :(

Whoops, I meant Non-CAS only :-[
-
Well, in that case, I'll try it out as soon as I'm done with my homework. :
Btw, if you need a text editor for the Nspire and you have the computer software, I have found it easy to copy and paste the text into a notes page and edit it from there. Sadly, this is almost impossible to do if you don't have the computer software.
-
The notes app is slow for long files - I'm talking about stuff like 500KB game walkthroughs :P
-
Yeah, that is true. I used it to store text files I might need for school (I once used it to store the text of an essay that I could not lose at all costs, if I lost my hard copy, I still had the calc :)). Still, using you program will probably be much easier. Now, for Ndless 2 to be released so I can use it in school... :)
-
eh, its not an editor, just a viewer, so it cannot replace the notes app yet.
I'm working on it :D
-
I know, but for what I use the Notes App for, I never have to edit, only view. :P
-
nice job!
Any chance of screenshots? :P

A rather unfortunate drawback of this viewer is it only scrolls down :( I'll need to make some moderate code changes to implement scrolling up.
nice job!

I'll post some as soon as I get back to my computer.
EDIT: Ninja'd by apcalc! Thanks apcalc! Now I don't have to walk back to my dorm :D
-
/me wonders if this will have formatting and stuff eventually ^^
-
Might. First I need to let the user scroll up :P
-
Yeah true ;D
-
Yeah, this could evolve into a formatted text viewer ala Hib-View / uView, though the Nspire OS has some built-in text formatting, unlike the TI-68k OS.
-
Hmm, so is there any chance of a menu or gui of some kind? it would be nice if you could load and save to different files without closing the viewer.
-
What do you mean? This can't even edit text.
-
Heh, its a text viewer ^^ And yeah, scrolling up is a mite bit harder :P I found that out myself when writing my small font editor. Good luck!
-

He probably just means so you can open another document without exiting the text viewer to do so
EDIT: Nvm, I just noticed the "save" part of his post.

Got any advice for scrolling up? I'd appreciate it :D

Are those for GBC games, by any chance?
-
Yep.
It's nice to not have to go to a computer when you get stuck.
-
This is nice to have a walkthrough handy on the exact same handheld as the game itself :P (although I guess having to exit the game everytime isn't too convenient)
-
I printed out a walkthrough for link's awakening and it took 10 mins to finish. (This was a laser printer too)
