Greetings,

  I have recently discovered that Tetris, if left in Pause mode, does not
allow the calculator to turn itself off (discovered that this morning....
:-().  Is this because it's constantly executing a loop of some kind, so the
calc thinks it's active, or is it setting a flag or something?

  Is there any way to make sure that the calc will shut itself off, besides
adding a check in the Tetris code that just shuts if off after, say 15-30
mins?

  Email's fine.  I'll summarize if people care.
