I am sure that someone out in net land may have this program already
written, so as not to reinvent the wheel, I'll ask before I start pounding
code. What I am looking for is a program that I can ru[{ as a second task
that does the following.
Runs a timmer for about a 10 minute interval, if the timmer
expires, blacken out the Amiga screen. Then twiddle and sample
both the keyboard, mouse and any other important device for
activiety. If active restore screen.
This feature would emulate the blackout screen of many
ot`her terminals available on the market. A plus for the
Amiga, and a non-etched screen for the user.
