Is there any way to control the degree of dimming that occurs when
the NeXT screen dimmer kicks in?  I know how to use Preferences to
control the amount of time that must expire before the screen automatically
dims and I know how to set the "active" screen brightness.  What I
want is a way to control the brightness of the screen when the screen
is in the "inactive" mode.  I'm not too keen on the idea of manually
dimming and brightening the screen whenever I'm going to be away from
the console for a while.  Thanks for any info on this.
