Power Status (was Re: Because LC can't do two things at once.)

Peter-

Actually, BAT0 is a directory, so you want

        put url "/sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/status" into tStatus
 
and what I see on my Thinkpad running linux Mint 17 is status returns one of 
three states:

Unknown if the laptop is plugged into the AC adapter
Discharging if running off the battery power
Charging if it's (wait for it) charging the battery.

If I remove the battery and run the laptop off AC power there is no BAT0 
directory.
