Hi

I have a (Cleveland) Codonics 1575, which toggles between being a text
(Wyse 75) and a graphics (Tektronix 4014) terminal. It's great, except
for one thing: the graphics screen is much dimmer than the text
screen.  This has some irritating consequences.

A) I am continually adjusting the intensity dial as I toggle between
screens.
B) In the day, ambient light really drowns out my graphics, even when
I have intensity cranked.
C) In the evening, when I forget to turn down the intensity before
returning to text, my retinas get nuked.

Nothing in SetUp or the manual seems to apply.
Anybody have suggestions? Mainly on the theme of easy (I'm no
electrician) adjustments to the terminal. Much obliged,
