I know about the built in screen saving.  What I want to be write is a program
like screensaver that you could get for X.V10R4.  If you have not typed at the
keyboard nor moved the mouse for some time then it would black the screen
and draw a lille box with the time on it.  To get the screen back you pressed
return where upon it would ask you for your password.  Its behavoir could be
tailored.

I can do all of the above except figure out when it is time to save.  Though
the server keeps track of this I cannot find any way of getting it to tell me
when it is now time to screen save.

Suggestions please.

	thanx in advance
