RE: A86: Batteries Low



I think this feature is particularly bad. If you call it a feature. I don't 
know if it has these ill effects on the TI-86, but on the TI-83, this 
message clears any text on the home screen, and if a BASIC program was 
running, and shut off from auto-power-down, then the message terminates the 
program!

Can anybody here tell me whether the TI-86 does this?
