Moshe Braner's Idle 1.2 does not blank the screen by removing signals
from the monitor. It displays a black screen using the memory below the 
default video memory. If that area is in use, it just does reverse video
on the screen. It will NOT hurt your monitor. I've used it for years and
I've examined the code in detail. Moshe writes good code!
