Given n_V*A, you can convert to Watts by pressing left-shift W if that menu is
displayed.  You could write a program that multiplied and attempted to convert
the result to Watts, and you could even assign that program to the * key so it
was executed when you pressed the key.  My 48's been shipped to HP for an
upgrade, or I'd help you out some more with code.  Send mail if you do need more
help.
