OK, I am Interested. Tell Me More !

I couldn't Reply to the Thread this Came up in, so I started another

I started My WinMe Build on a desktop system.
It doesn't turn my BackLight Off. Others have reported it Working Fine.
I Need to ReBuild my WinMe on My I-Openers, But only because of this.
I have been Waiting till I Trashed this build, which hasn't happened Yet !

I would Like to Test this Idea.
But I am also Interested in Turning it Off & back On.
Any Ideas of syncing this with the Screen Saver ?
Hot Key would probably be the Sweetest !

Interesting ! I still can't reply to that thread. But Programmer has.
My Reply Screen gets as far as "Linux-Hacker.net" No Scroll Bar or anything else.
Hey I don't really care. but I thought Someone might ?

I am Still Interested in Software Control of the LCD Backlight, If anyone makes a Program I can Run.

Programmer,

Your bkl.com blanks my screen, No DOS Cursor either. But the backLight is stil ON !
Your bkl2.com does nothing, I get a DOS window that says "your backlight should be off."
Thanks for trying. I am using WinMe
