I too have a similar program on my HP48SX.  I've stuck it into a program
called OWNER in my top-level director.  I then have a user alarm scheduled
which executes the following <<DROP OWNER OFF>>.  The DROP simply removes
the alarm number from the stack when it goes off; OWNER then gets executed
and the calculator is turned off.  I've got this scheduled to happen at
4:30am every day.  In this way, my name and address is displayed on the
calculator automatically, and I don't have to worry about whether or not
I'm in user mode; the first time the calculator is turned on in a given day,
my name and address appears.
