Dan,

It has been discussed before and it's a pet peev of mine, although a
relatively minor one.  I would like to se a lock state where the only keys
that power up the unit at all are the 1 plus 3 keys to unlock  it.  Perhaps
there is a hardware related reason for having it this way, I don't know but
I have had the unit lock up in an on state when carrying it in a pocket or
bag even when it was supposedly locked to begin with.  Lou
