Here is the very similar program that I use to protect my 48. This program does not allow uninformed persons to use the calculator. To turn the calculator On, you must hit ON two times, rapidly in succession. Call the program anything you wish, and assign the program (not the name of the program) to the OFF key. This way it doesn't clutter up the VAR menu. You can then purge the program. %%HP: T(3)A(R)F(.); @ HP-48sx Security Program @ Prevents less knowledgable persons from @ using (and hopefully from stealing) @ your treasured HP-48sx. @ Assign this program to the OFF key (91.3) @ and leave the calculator in USER mode, @ Before you turn it off. \<< DO " Property of Christopher M.
