We've recently decided to leave our 6150 up all the time. 
Is there a Screen Saver type program to protect the console since it
is not likely to be used overnight. It is an ordinary  IBM monochrome
monitor so it cannot be switched off. The intensity control may be
turned down but people are likely to forget to do this.

Perhaps the savings in screen phosphor are not worth it? (I don't
want to spark of another 'Is it worth leaving your terminal on
all the time debate!)
