However, I want to be able to turn off the LCD, or at least the backlight, to keep the camera from getting too hot and risking damage. So far I've read ways to create scripts to turn off backlights, but it is to my understanding that I can only run one script at a time.

The script I'm using is the ultimate invtervalometer. Do I want to edit the ult_intrvl.bas file and just add that function (set_backlight(x)) anywhere in the script with value 0/1?
It's been quite some time and I can't quite remember which it was, but I want to say it was from this page, and Version 1http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/UBASIC/Scripts:_Ultra_Intervalometer

That did it! Thanks so much for your help. At first it wasn't working, but after a few seconds, it turned off the backlight and began taking shots.
set_backlight 0
You also mentioned that there were better scripts. Are there any that you suggest?
