How can i do this?

It doesn't have to have to be an inturrupt... maybe at the end of a 
game, when it says game over, it can signal to Zshell to turn itself 
off after 5 min, until further notice. The signal can be a rom call, 
because isn't that what zshell does... tricks the RAM into being 
ROM?? The new rom call can be something like CALL_ROM(POWER)
Then, Zshell will stop the program, save the state of the interrupt, display "Auto-power off in 5 
min Press ON to Abort" and  run a delay loop for 5 minutes. If the 
person presses ON (the interrupt) it would go back to the program and 
restore the interrupt. Is this possible? Do i know what i'm 
blabbering about???
minutes, unless it is interrupted by ON
