No marks or scars in syslog. syscons works for the screen saver but syscons -t # acts just like the ALT FX combo. I have read the fine manual, groped through source and am most likely missing something * real * simple, help ??! -- =============================================================================== |Jeff Tyler (508)-952-4376 Consulting | |DECathena && | |jeff@athena.tay.dec.com Custom Services | | DECathena, Wherever you go, then there you are.... | ===============================================================================
