I guess this is related to the new FBCON code, but has anyone else noticed
that screen blanking is not-quite right any more ?

Set up a job to output something to the screen infrequently (5 minute
intervals) and let the screen blank. Then wait for the additional output to
appear.... The stuff that was blanked stays blanked, but the new text is
displayed for all to see (and is never blanked) pressing a key recovers the
blank text as normal !

Regards,
Steve
