If I left the program running, it would drain my calculator's battery, even if the screen was in low power mode. I installed a loop counter that counted the number of times the WAIT(-1) loop cycled. If no key or tab was pressed after 5 minutes, the program would exit the loops, go to the end of program, and then exit to the home screen. After 5 minutes in the Home screen, the calculator would naturally turn off. An example of the loop counter is shown in this post. https://www.hpmuseum.org/forum/thread-12...#pid115217

I like that idea, it is a very practical way of dealing with it. Thanks!

Just to add to this: you might even want to have a user-defined variable that allows users to set their own time-out with a default of, say, 5 minutes.
