Mine may blank during transfers, but pops back (soon) when a "blocks

The on-disk doc. divides screen/keyboard use into hardware, ROM BIOS, and
MSDOS call approaches. Fansi claims to replace the BIOS code, so it speeds
up console I/O which uses BIOS or MSDOS calls. I don't think graphics is
affected.
