Hi, if anyone is interested, I wrote a simple program to allow graphical control of the DIS lamps. From the visitor1 account on tycho, simply enter: xlamps, and you'll get a "power strip" across the top of your screen with boxes for each lamp. Each box will be red if lamp is off, green if on, and clicking in the box will change the state of that lamp. Hitting Q in the window will exit the program. It takes a few seconds for lamp status to update. Using this does not preclude controlling the lamps using the lamps command.
