Ok... This is a first atempt at posting so:
#include <stddisclaimers.h>
ok, I thought this was rather interesting so I promptly
picked up my 48 and tried what was discribed...
immediately the whole screen went blue, so I did the [ON]-C
to clear it... I saw a very interesting thing happen to the
display-- it flickered and melted into a parabolic shape on
center-left side of the display...
I was curious to know if anyone else had this happen...

Also, I am looking for info... Anyone else try a [ON]-[SPC]??
I found it will do this:  Beep at you (even if beeper is set
to off), then display verticle bars on the left side of the
screen, then turn off.  When turned back on, it will show the
screen, blank the display, then take its time getting the 
display back on... (sortof like a system halt immediately after
turning it on)  So my question is, anyone know what the hell
this [ON]-[SPC] does exactly (internally)?

And one request... I assume that people have picked this apart
but could a few kind soles email me with a discription of the
[ON]-D commands? I would really like to know just what I am 
doing.  I have heard of a internal debugger which I would like
to know how to use.  Any info would be apreciated.

I have one suggestion regarding all the flames about the "me-too"
postings.  I think that if someone asks for info and someone 
else wants it too, that they should email the person who asked
for the info in the first place. (ie: if anyone is insanely
curious about the info I requested, they should email me with a 
"me-too" instead of posting it...)

Well, enough flames...
