Well maybe I should have been more clear in my description.

I know that you can enable a password that will be required every time you turn on
your Newton.

example of what I'm looking for:
I want to pick up my Newton in the morning, turn it on, enter my password and check
my schedule, then turn it off. As soon as I turn it off, I remember I didn't check
my email and I turn it back on, only to be greeted by the password protection
screen asking for my password again.

Now I know I read about some way you could chose a set time limit on how long
between, turning the Newton off and back on, that it will ask for a password.
Like, if it is off for less than 2 min. then don't ask for password, but if off for
longer than 2 min. ask for password.
