Yes, for years we wanted to use the CASE of the N/S byte to
indicate operator present.  But unitl someone re-wrote Uiview,
we would never see their operator status.  So recently, we added
the O OVERLAY idea.  But then again, if it is not automatic when
the person enters the room and touches the PC and then decays
off when the person leaves the operator position, then it is a
worthless capablity.

Unless someone can figure out how to add it as an add-on.  THen
it (to me) is one of the most important features in helping APRS
facilitate human communication...
