All of this talk about battery consumption on the HP-48 has
stirred an old question I have pondered. Why wasn't the 48 provided with
a command/flag that would allow programmatic checking for low power
indication? (Dr. Wickes?) I used the capability quite a bit on the hp-41.
I know, I know, "Life is short and ROM is full," but to paraphrase
the Doritos slogan, "Burn all you want; we'll make more."
I don't have my manuals handy, but I don't believe a command/flag
exists. If I'm wrong, I'll be embarassed, but smarter.
