A question about shutting down the Stamp programmatically

I'm have a HomeWork Board Rev. B, and what I'd like to do is write a program that shuts down and isolates the stamp as much as possible from the breadboard. So, if I'm testing a circuit that doesn't use the stamp, I want to set all of the pins to a common state, then use END to power off the stamp until I re-program.

My question is: what is the best state to set the pins - high/low/input/output? I'd like to make them as electrically isolated from the breadboard as possible programmatically.

Thanks.

    Kevin,

    ·· Setting the pins to inputs would effectively isolate them...All you need to do is:

    DIRS = 0
