I would like to know how you get your LCD to stay on for longer than 10
minutes in the first place...

I've posted this question before, but no one responded.  My LCD goes
into "standby" or "power saver" mode or something after just a few
minutes of inactivity from STDIN.  It doesn't make any difference
whether a program using the LCD is running or not, it shuts itself down.
One hit from the keyboard and it wakes up again.  How do I disable this
"feature"?

Any help would be appreciated.
Lance

I accidentally left my screen on when leaving for a six day trip -- I
don't see any evidence of burn in.

As they  say though, your mileage may vary . . .
