THE CONSOLE

        +---| Console Functions |---+
        | 1 - Blank Screen          |
        | 2 - Set Blank Message     |
        | 3 - Lock Keyboard         |

        +---------------------------+

The first command on the Console screen is Blank Screen. Enter 1 and the screen will blank immediately. It will remain blanked until a key is pressed. Enter 2 on the Console menu and you can change the message displayed on the Blank Screen display.

Enter 3 and you will be prompted for a word to lock the keyboard. After you enter the lock word the screen will blank and the keyboard will be locked until the exact lock word is typed. Enter 4 to set the number of minutes to wait before blanking the screen.

The lock word feature is handy for times when you must leave the keyboard but don't want menu commands displayed for all to see. It also effectively locks the keyboard so someone can't escape to DOS and test the format command on your hard disk. We run this menu on a Novell Network and don't want to let everyone have access to the Supervisors' power at the touch of the escape key should we leave the keyboard.
