I don't believe that closing all apps or exiting to DOS would save any mo=
re
battery life than simply turning off the power switch with GEOS running.
The only way the Zoomer could save battery life is if it turned off the s=
tandby
power to the "system area" of the RAM =AD it would need to continue to pr=
ovide
standby power to the "user area" in order to preserve user and state file=
s. The
two RAM areas would need to be seperately powered for this to work.
Further, it could only do that if it was capable of internally recognizin=
g that
you had exitted GEOS (or PenRight, or whatever else you might be running)=
to
the DOS level.
It's not a particularly "normal" mode of operation, and it's not advertis=
ed as
a feature. I think that it's doubtful that Casio went to the trouble of
designing all of that into the unit.
