Are you talking about Power On/Off where you shut down the LCD 'n stuff?
Yeah, I use a power off routine in ZASMLIB, and it works just fine, although
it may be the routine you are using, and may be incorrectly altering port 3
and the interrupts. My routine I clipped from Bill Nagel's source somewhere
(gave him due credit though) but I know that it is very trustworthy. There
are many other things that asm programs can alter, and still be left on the
calc which the OS could activate at some point and not know how to handle it.
Im not sure what the problem is though... =P
