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. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bob Peraino UUCP : uunet!pyrdc!gmu90x!peraino George Mason University INTERNET: peraino@gmuvax.gmu.edu UCIS, Thompson Hall, rm 2 <- BITNET : peraino@gmuvax 4400 University Drive \ PHONE : (703)-323-2549 Fairfax, VA 22030 \- Yeah, they put us in the basement, too. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
