Ummm... more often than the auto-off time(?) Maybe I don't completely understand your question...(?) >Is there any penalty for calling it too frequently? Not really. It just resets a low-memory counter variable, so the overhead is almost completely negligible; it's no greater than calling any other Palm OS API through the system trap dispatcher. So call it as frequently as you like. Every trip through your main event loop is probably fine, as long as you don't choose to wait-forever when getting events -- that would allow the auto-off timer to trigger before the app has a chance to reset the timer, which by then is too late, as the device has already begun it's auto-off process.
