Duh... now I feel dumb!  :-)

At first, I was thinking "I'm not an idiot, I know how to use a screen
saver".  But then I found, this 'blank screen' setting within the
SETI@HOME  Ah ha!!!  Thanks for enlightening me.  :-)

Still, I hope they can add a feature to auto start and stop this
software at pre-set hours.  

Thanks 
Shawn
