"Blackwatch" and "Mac" were all it took for Google to get me there... Nice utility! Still has the screen powered, but at least it is more entertaining. I guess the old world Mac all-in-one just doesn't have the capability to turn power off to the screen and leave the motherboard powered... Maybe I'll reload the Quadra for my internet radio app and use the 5500 for everything else. I was able to get my PC to do filesharing with the Mac for video burning.
Thanks everyone for the help!

I just tested it with a QT movie playing. The sound came thru fine... It is a smallish (600K) download. If you can't find it after the following clues, I can send it to you off list...
