Yes, but you need to send the screen some escape sequences, the
last time I checked. Subroutines included do the following:

noblank() Stops screen blanker (what you want).
scr() Resets ANSI mode to return from shifted to normal.
Sometimes the screen gets shifted after accidentally
reading binary files.
cls() Clear the screen.
