a while back someone posted a blurb wnating to know about programs that
came up when you turned the calculator on.  I posted, but it never made
it to the net.  Oh well, I'll try again.

As Xeno posted earlier, just assign a program to the off sequence (blue-on)
and have the program execute an off command.  Here's mine as an example.
to turn the calculator on, press on and hold the + key until the menu appears.
beep+ and beep- will enable or disable respectively, the beep for this
session with the calculator . (I found this kind of handy in exams)
