At the OF prompt, type "dev /screen words" and it'll show you a list of
methods that are in the /screen device alias. You can then type "see
whatever" to show the Forth code for the method... on my machine, there
were things like "ddc2-monitor-off", "ddc2i-monitor-off", and
"ddc2ci-monitor-off" (I think); I just tried 'em until I found one that
actually worked :) (I think ddc2-monitor-off just returns the address to
a sequence of bytes to send out to the monitor; it doesn't do anything
by itself. I didn't actually look at ddc2i-monitor-off.)

The NetBSD/macppc FAQ <http://www.netbsd.org/Ports/macppc/faq.html#ofw-misc>
has links to the Apple Technotes on OF, which is where I found out about
the OF commands.
