I have been very naughty

The TI-59 has twice the memory of the 58: the default configuration is 480 steps and 60 data registers, while the 58 can be set to 480 steps or 60 registers.

What's wrong with the ML-02 program? Since it does not occupy any RAM all memory is available for storing the matrix and even a TI-58 can handle a 6th order equation system. On a physical TI-59 (!) even the optimized 640 step version would leave merely 40 registers.

Take a look at the already mentioned Master Library Survival Guide. There are lots of other programs you can try. OK, except ML-02 and 19. ;-)
