Is there a way to turn off the screen while on a call

Hi drdms37 :)

Yes , their is an app called "Power Manager" which allows this option to turn off the screen during a call and other Power saving Techniques. The full Version cost's $0.99 or you can always give the Trial version a go ;) both versions are on the Android Market now

I've been using the Proximity Sensor app, works pretty well. It uses the light sensor on the phone to tell if you've put it up to your ear. Doesn't turn off the screen, but locks it so no accidental button presses:
