- This command may be used to turn the display off when a
- workstation is about to be
- idle for a long period of time. When invoked with no arguments,
- it turns the display off, waits for a carriage-return to be typed,
- then turns the display back on again. If invoked with any argument
- except \fB\-n\fR, \fBblackscreen\fR turns the display off and exits with
- the display left off. If the \fB\-n\fR argument is given, \fBblackscreen\fR
- re-enables the display immediately and exits.
