I am sorry I don't know anything about AfterDark for Windows.  But I use
something called Intermission (which was, by the way, sent to me free
because I registered my copy of ScreenPeace...  what a cool deal!!!).
It has the option to blank the screen when you are running DOS (either
full-screen or DOS window). It also has numerous options for "waking"
up your screen, including mouse movement, mouse button, keyboard
key pressed, and dialog alert.  There is also an option to use
a password, so only with the proper password will the screen "wake up".
However, I haven't seen it in stores, though I am sure it must exist 
somewhere.  Check it out, it is a good program.
