There is a utility for Windows which performs screen blanking, among other
things.  Here is a summary of some of the features:

    * menu customization
    * no need to change directories all the time
    * nice, on-screen digital clock
    * customizes your environment (window size, etc.) and remembers it
    * window arranging and locating

It does quite a bit more, too.  Contact Wilson Windowware, 3377 59th SW,
Seattle, WA 96116, or call 206-937-9335.  It is available on Compuserve, also.
The product is shareware, with a fee of $35.00.
