I checked on the ESC, and found an article from 89 that told how to start
easytime and keep the console messages on the console; however, upon
talking to the RC, it seems that HP (in its infinite wisdom) took that
functionality out.  Talk about a step backwards!  This would have been
great for some of my people who are not proficient in MPE.  Oh well,
chalk it up to a worthless inclusion into the new release.
