the backlighting feature of the RC2000mkII has always bothered me and i was wondering if this is the case with the Pronto as well, here is my problem: with the RC2000mkII i don't want the backlight to turn on every time i hit a button, so you have to go into the setup and turn the backlight off which makes it so that you have to actually hit the backlight button for the backlight to turn on, but...as soon as you release the backlight button, the backlight immediately goes off...now this is what i would like to see in the Pronto: you can set it so that the backlight only turns on when you hit the backlight button and you can set the delay for how long the backlight stays on before turning off...is this the case? or is it set up some other way? thanks for the info

The Pronto has a light sensor, which allows you to do lots of great things.

If you set the light sensor to absolute minimum, it disables the backlight from coming on unless you press the backlight button (alternately, if you set it at full the backlight comes on no matter how bright the room is). When you press the button, the backlight stays on for whatever you have it set to and continues to stay on until you let it time out.
