                 PsiOn - V1.4 - By Paul Hargreaves
                 ---------------------------------

  PsiOn is a very small program (with source) that controls your 
  system password in a more sensible manner. PsiOn turns off the
  PSION's power on password and after your PSION has been switched 
  off for a while, PsiOn wakes up and turns the system password back
  on. It can also show your Agenda screen after your password has
  been entered.
  
  PsiOn is designed to run on the PSION Series 3a, 3c and Siena. 
  PsiOn will not run on a 3 classic - sorry.

  Installation
  ------------
  Copy the PSI-ON.OPA into your INTERNAL drive. It's only 3k. Copy
  the PSI-ON.ICO and PSI-ON.OPL into the \OPL directories if you want
  to re-compile PsiOn.
  
  I wouldn't advise putting PsiOn onto a flash/ram disk..if the
  program is running and someone takes the SSD out then you'll get
  errors......

  From the System screen, press Psion-I to install.  

  PsiOn will create a file called \OPD\PSI-ON.ODB on your default
  disk whenever you change your PsiOn settings.

                \---------------------------------/

  Power on password :- The password you type every time you switch on
  your PSION. THIS IS NOT SAVED ANYWHERE, NOR WILL ANY VERSION OF
  PsiOn EVER SAVE IT AWAY.

  PsiOn need to know this password, as there is no way for a program
  on the PSION to "tell" what the password is. Without this password,
  the Password control functions of the PSION cannot be accessed. You
  can see this when you try to change your password.
  You have to enter your current password before any details are
  shown.

  Switched off time :- How long your PSION is switched off and unused
  until PsiOn turns your password back on. The default is 15 minutes,
  but if you change this setting then it will be saved away for the
  next time you run PsiOn.

  Control Agenda    :- You can have PsiOn show an agenda screen
  either Each Morning (after 4am) or Every time you type in your
  password.
  
  This works by looking for a running "process" called Agenda. If
  PsiOn finds it, the screen will be shown in the mode selected
  below. If 2 different Agenda's are running, then one of them will
  be shown. There is no way for you to select which agenda to use,
  but it will normally be the first Agenda that is started.
  [You can use Spy before opening any Agendas, then start each one in
  turn. The one with the lower Task number is the one PsiOn will
  show]

  Agenda view       :- If the Control Agenda is set to yes, then you
  can select which view you'd like Agenda to be shown in.  

  Here are the keys that you should select on a UK/US machine
     Week View        : W
     Day View         : D (or blank)
     To Do List       : T
     List View        : L
     Year View        : Y
     Anniversary View : A

  And for the S3c and Sienna, you also have
     Busy View        : B

  Non UK/US machines may have different letters. Go into your Agenda
  screen and press Menu, scroll over to the Diamond list, and the
  keys you can select will be shown.

  Control Sound     :- How many times have you turned off all the
  Sound in the System screen when you go into a meeting, to find the
  next day that you missed an important alarm like a wake-up call.
  Never? No me neither, but some people do. This option will allow
  PsiOn to turn the sound back on when it turns the password on. 


  After you press Enter, and assuming you typed in the right
  password, the screen will clear and you'll be taken to the System
  screen. PsiOn HAS NOT CRASHED OR QUIT. PsiOn returns you to the
  System screen. To see that PsiOn is running press Enter on the icon
  again.  

  The screen will now look like this......


                 PsiOn_V1.4_(C)Paul_Hargreaves
                 ^A Arm Now ^P Pause ^T Time


  If you press Psion-A, then PsiOn will act as if your machine had
  been left switched off for a long time, and it will re-arm your
  password. This is useful if you leave your machine lying around
  when you go to lunch or whatever.  

  Pressing Psion-P will make PsiOn leave your password off until 4am
  the next day. This is useful for weekends - you switch your machine
  on once on a Saturday, and you won't be forced to enter your
  password until the next Sunday. You can cancel this at any time by
  pressing a key in the PsiOn screen.
  
  You can change your Switched off time while PsiOn is running if you
  press Psion-T. This will not change your default time, and can be
  canceled at any time by pressing a key in the PsiOn screen.


  PsiOn takes /very little/ processor time while it's running. You
  can use the SPY (3a) Application to verify this.  

  You can switch your machine off and on, and the password screen
  will not be shown. PsiOn has turned off your password for you.

  Now go back to the System screen and select Control-Auto switch
  off, you can reduce this to a much shorter time. That way your
  machine will switch off quicker, but since PsiOn has disabled the
  password, just pressing Esc or any of the System keys will switch
  your machine back on. This will also help save your battery power.


  Now switch off your PSION and wait a while (15 minutes if you left
  the default set), and you'll see your PSION switch on for a brief
  second.

  PsiOn has turned your system password back on, just as if you'd
  done it from the system screen yourself. There is no way of getting
  past the password screen...it's the real thing!

  After you have typed in your password, PsiOn will disable it and
  will reset it's timers again.


  Notes
  -----
  DO NOT CHANGE YOUR SYSTEM PASSWORD WHILE PsiOn IS RUNNING. PsiOn
  will quit automatically if it notices that you've done this!

  PsiOn does not affect any alarms that you have running, nor will it
  interfere with your remote link, or anything else !!

  PsiOn can take anything upto 2 and a half seconds to notice that a
  key has been pressed, so please be a little patient.

  drop me a line telling me what you think, what your settings are,
  and what features you think might be useful. If you make any nice
  changes, or spot any bugs, then send me a copy of the program and
  I'll see what I can do...

  take those Mummies off you :-) Just stick 'em in the post.
