Re: Screen blanking while downloading

So, just hit the 5-key on the numeric keypad.  Almost zero software uses it,
but it convinces FANSI (and other blankers) that you're still there.  By
using the 5-key, there is almost zero possibility that your software will
interpret it and do something you don't want at that moment.
