I have a circuit I have put in several pieces of test that didn't 
have auto off. I think I got it out of Popular Electronics or 
another magazine. It only takes a few componets (FET, diode,
capacitor, and a momentary contact switch). I even modified my 
old Sencore meter to use the switch on the probe. It has saved 
many dollars and a lot of frustration over the years. 
If anyone is interested I will dig it out this weekend and post 
it to the TechAssist web site.

PS I like the Dick Smith meter.
