Default ipaq 3850 screen off utility

The idea is to conserve power / prevent button presses when being used as an mp3 player,

thanks
On my 3640 I just hold down the power button for a couple seconds and the backlight on the screen turns off. With the backlight off, my battery life goes up quite a bit (over hour car ride with a PCMCIA sleeve attached and both devices had very very little battery loss). Usually then I can still kind of see the screen if I decide I need to change the song.
