I'm running 3.1 on a 486 system at home and I'd like to be able to
keep the screen saver from popping up while I'm running a DOS 
application launched from windows.  I know that I could simply
stop the screen saver before I go into the DOS application and
start it back up afterwards, but it would be nice if there was an
easier way,  perhaps some way to get the screen saver to recognize
the keyboard and mouse activity of the dos program.
