A83: Re: Low power mode




Use a halt.  A halt waits for an interrupt to occur.  If the timer
interrupts are enabled (meaning the calc is ON, they don't occur when the
calc is off [actually we've been debating this on the A86 list for the past
9 months, but I strongly believe that they don't occur]) then calc will be
in low power mode until the next 1/200th of a second, though this is
approximate.  If you are waiting for something, run a loop with a halt at
the top until whatever it is happens.  If the calc is off, then the halt
will wait until the ON key interrupt occurs.
