I saw the proper "Y" on all my customer's version of the non-passworded
screens, but I avoid any remote changes until after working hours.  I
did run dscreen to reset Y on my copies of all such screens.

I am in fact thinking of adding an @keyd clause to processing, but
that's just a bandaid hiding a warning light on a car dashboard, not
understanding and fixing the problem.
