Aha... So all I need to do to turn the calc "off" is to shut down the lcd...
But hey... In "ti-ports.txt" it says that the calc can be put in
low-power mode by writing 40h into port 6, and back on by writing 41h...
Wouldn't that mean, that the low power mode exist and works, and prolly
would save batteries, too. But the problem in my case is, how to get it
back on (the "halt method" doesn't seem to work...).
