Binary/Hex/Octal on a TI-83?

[CraKaJaX]

I've been messing with it for a while now and can't find anything. My friends TI-86 just has a "Base" button that converts to all of them by pressing either F1,F2,F3, or F4... but the TI-83 has no such button. Am I missing something?

I see here someone wrote a program to do that, so that leads me to think it's not built-in.

in all honesty, its pretty easy to learn how to do in your head

It is, but when you're doing it for machine code sh!t over and over it's just a huge, huge time saver. God damn Microprocessors :|

I generally use the builtin Windows calculator in Scientific mode. You can type in a number in any base and convert between binary/octal/hex/decimal.

I don't think the TI-81/83 has it built in. Wouldn't be hard to write a program for it.
