Eric Sharkey: 
I _THOUGHT_ that I had done one or more of the above, but now that I think of it, I'm not so sure. 
And of course, the blue screen (with clouds) is not showing now, so I can't take a picture OR do the key combination(s). 


Raymond Wagner: 
If the blue screen should re-appear, AND I take a picture of it, should I post the image to this list-server?
