lets you select the type of monitor
(color or monochrome) the system is using. You must
select a monitor type before you select an emulation

Hercules (HGC) modes (required by some software
packages).

must select

monitor type before you

lets you enable or disable the screen

saver if you use the following kinds of software: soft-

keyboard, Microsoft Windows, games or other appli-

gone blank, then try the following: restore the screen
by pressing the NUM LOCK key, exit the program (ii
