BLANKALL.EXE
         or "What to do when the boss walks in."

         Purpose:

         Hotkey VGA screen blanker pauses the current program and
         blanks graphic or textmode screen on VGA systems for privacy,
         security or 'Oops, the boss walked in.'

         The default hotkey combination is <alt> Z.

         To install with alternate hotkey use the SCANCODE for the new
         hotkey as a parameter on the command line:

                 BLANKALL nn

         To return to the current program press the hotkey WITHOUT
         pressing the <alt> key.

         To Uninstall the program, press the hotkey combination WHILE
         AT THE DOS PROMPT, then press <alt> U.  WARNING: do NOT
         uninstall when not at the DOS prompt- this may crash the
         system and require reboot, which is another way to uninstall
         the program.

         To find out what the scancode for a give key is, run the
         HOTKEY.EXE program that should be bundled with this package.
