Yes, the 2nd cursor is a character (that's how the cursors work), but it's not a token (meaning you can't interact with it in prompts or use it in TI-BASIC).

In general, yes, but the fact that the BASIC editor is displaying it here means that there's some two-byte token sequence that will display it, in my opinion. I could easily be wrong, of course. 
Yeah, but as I said there's no token that contains the cursor characters (with the exception of the selected equation cursor, which isny really a cursor).
I remember invalid two-byte sequences starting with $EF showing up as random junk depending on the mood of my calculator that day, so that might be it.

the shown object is all one token-when i place my cursor at the start of this junk, then press the right directional key, it zooms to the end of all the junk. just in case that helps.

Yeah, that happens a lot. Moral of the story, trying to view machine code as TI-BASIC tokens doesn't work. LuxenD wrote:
im still mystafied why running that junk pile causes an error:Version error.
When you run a program as a TI-BASIC program, the parser thinks it's made up of tokens. When it gets to a sequence of two bytes that it doesn't recognize as a token, it assumes it's a token added by a future version of the OS, so it gives you an ERR:VERSION to indicate that.
Does that clear it up for you?
