or ConsoleInput. The existing function does not disable the lights or text

<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>Console. Not ConsoleLights or
ConsoleDisplayBuffer, but a class with no properties other than state so that it
can be enabled and disabled. In the voting spreadsheet from eons ago, we
all voted prtGeneralConsoleDisable as priority A. And there is a comment
on it that says, "must be implemented as CIM state accessible by
RequestStateChange() method." Who would have guessed that we had such
foresight way back then. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>Proposal: When we get to it, we can use this as a
pipe cleaner for CIM modeling of this writable property. I think it
results in an otherwise empty class derived directly from
EnabledLogicalElement. No new properties, just the state properties and
RequestStateChange() method inherited from the parent. </FONT></P>
