The original poster didn't say which machine he was using, but I assumed it was
acting the same way our VS2000's do.  The color version uses the F1 key for 
"hold screen" even in single-user mode, and there doesn't appear to be a way
to get around that EVEN USING twm, which is the window manager I use.
It only seems to be this way on the color version of the 2000 - the monochrome
machine that we have exhibits no such behaviour.
