Methinks you want to disable the 'screen-saver' capability...no?
You can disable the screen-saver if you are running the DECwindows
session manager....via the 'Customize/window' pull-down entry.  You
can also set times on 'blanking'.  Just remember to save the resources
after you set them.

In  .Xdefaults, this translates to:

sm.screen_saver_enable:	disable

or

sm.screen_saver_period:	38  (example using timer... in minutes)

VMS has the same interface via the session manager.
