When might Nonpareil display the low battery asterisk!? When my laptop battery gets to 20% on the plane?

I've thought about making Nonpareil use the system battery status for that, but AFAIK there's no portable API to get that information.

I've also thought about putting in a menu command to set the battery status. Unlike the Voyager calculators, the Woodstock series actually have the microcode involved in the battery low display.

However, for now, I'm not doing either. I'm experimenting with using scalable graphics in Nonpareil, with the 12C as the first test, and wanted the scalable graphics to include the indicator, even if the simulator doesn't yet use it (and might never).
