Yes, I've used a similar technique using the WAITRCD on an OVRDSPF. The user can change the "refresh" interval and turn off / on the refresh.

Since it's a splash screen, as opposed to a loaded subfile, it should be fairly straightforward to implement.

Perhaps he's alluding to the WAITRCD parameter on CRT/OVRDSPF?

Dear M.:

Forgive me if I'm a bit dense, but I don't think I've heard of that
before. How is it done?

Incidentally, the current behavior of the splash screen is as follows:

It comes up with no keyboard lock, but also no input-capable fields (and
we have no plans to add any).

Without terminal-level typeahead: if a user presses a non-AID key, it
causes the usual terminal error, which goes away when the next screen
comes up, while if the user presses an AID key, the keyboard locks, but
the AID key is ignored.

With terminal-level typeahead: any key (AID or non-AID) the user presses
gets processed normally when the next screen comes up.

Snippets sometime after lunch.
