Hey, all of you terminal hackers out there. I finally found the way to change brightness on an h19 terminal that does not have the knob. First of all, you cannot do it in software. You can turn on the key click and many other things using the escape sequences, but not the brightness. I finally found how to do it. It's really sick. There is a potentiometer for brightness and other controls UNDER THE HOOD (!!) on the video board. The stupid thing is that when you open the hood, the first thing you see is the message saying that you should't be opening the hood or you will get zapped. Then you see the video board and all the labeled components. A nice terminal otherwise. Alex
