   Windows95 screen displays. It can be installed from the Windows95
   Control Panel's [Display] area's [Settings] menu. 
2. Backlight OFF Screen Saver (Blsaver.scr)
   This software is used to turn OFF the PL6700's backlight after
   a specified period of inactivity. The use of this feature will help
   to extend the life of the PL's backlight.
   NOTE: Certain application programs may not allow the PL's backlight
   to turn OFF. Please test each program individually to check if the
   screen saver will operate correctly.

   This software monitors the PL6700's two (CPU and Power unit) cooling
   fans, and if either fan stops for any reason, an alarm message box
   pops up on the screen and the PL's buzzer will sound to alert the 
   User. Clicking on the Fanalarm dialog box's upper left corner icon 
   will bring up this software's System Menu.
   After selecting the [Options] menu item, the following setting data
   can be entered.

   applications that use PL-6700 series features.
   These files are called by applications like Visual C++, Visual Basic,
   etc. The functional specifications for this file can be found in the
   file named Pl67api.h. 
   NOTE: This file is required when using Blsaver.scr, Disp.exe,
         or Fanalarm.exe.

         emulator. Please test each application individually to check
         if the keyboard emulator will operate correctly. Also, this 
         application cannot be used to enter Windows startup screen
         User Name and Password information.
         To change the Keyclick program's font size a keyboard is 
         required. For details concerning the Keyclick program's 
         operation, simply click on the HELP button to call up the
