Z LIGHTS: Prime's answer to mobile phone torches - StephenG1CMZ - 11-10-2017 03:29 PM

As the clocks change and the nights get darker, it seems the right time for this little program...It can also be called from ZIPP, another of my programs.

Given that the HP Prime has no external accessible lights, this program may be of little practical use...unless the lights go out whilst you are using your calculator.

The design aim is a compromise between maximising the limited illumination available, and including some information that a torch would not (the time the light was activated).

Version 0.2 has some new functionality that you will hopefully never need.
It would be nice if someone that reads Morse code could check it out, as I haven't checked out its readability.

Version 0.3 includes a cheat mode (edit the HINTS BOOLEAN as you wish)

Version 0.4 implements the above fix in the main outer loop and works in both 8151 and 11586 (Android).
(Some inner loops not yet fixed).
