Does anybody know of a free d/a of fkey that can be used to black out the
screen? I am not looking for a screen saver. My situation is that I am using an
overhead projector for transparencies and a lightvalve for projecting the Mac
onto a single screen. When I want to use the overhead, I would switch the mac
to black and use the overhead. When I want to use the Mac, I would click, the
Mac screen would come back to life (obvious an fkey would work as well as a da
here.) and I would turn off the overhead. Any suggestions?

PS: turning down the Mac's screen intensity does not affect the video output
generated by Cinemac, and so that is not an alternative.
