In my endless efforts to make a password protection program,
I was given some great advice on how to sneak around the reset
sequence ( [ON] C). I was told to write a program to take a
password and then write it to a library with a configuration file
that would attach it and then run it. The user key that took the
position of the [OFF] key was then assigned to the program in the
library. Then, when one pushed the user key, the calculator would
then turn off and then ask for a password when turned on again.
And if the calculator was reset, the config program would be run
and it would re-attach itself and run again. Therefore disabling
the reset sequence as a solution around my password program
right? WRONG!
I thought that the scheme was beautiful but when I finally
tried it out, I learned that I couldn't turn off the calculator
from a library program. WHY NOT?!?! Does anybody know? It does
turn itself off but it then turns on within a second or so.
What's the deal? This one really has me reeling with disbelief.
