Summary: Disable Palm auto-off backwards

Initial Comment:
Running: ScummVM 0.7.1 for PalmOS Build Mar 29 2005
11:10:56
Games Tested: Monkey Island 2
Hardware: Palm Tungsten T5

This concerns the "Disable Palm auto-off" option under
the Options->Misc menu.

When checked:
The auto-off is disabled and the game continues
operating as expected.
The auto-off length outside ScummVM is not modified.

When NOT checked:
The auto-off occurs within the game as expected.
The auto-off length outside ScummVM is reset to 0
(always on).

So when I used the default options, (unchecked), my
auto-off timer would be reset everytime I played the
game.  This would lead to a battery drain down to zero
when an alarm went off and I wasn't around to turn off
the PDA.

I'm not sure how it works, I found that the auto-off
listed under the Palm Prefs would still show 1 minute,
but the PDA would not turn off.  I grabbed a 3rd part
app (Set AutoPower Off Gold) and it correctly reflected
the timeout setting as described above.

Perhaps this has already been fixed in your recent
beta, but I didn't see any messages to that effect.
