Thanks ALL - After much TRIAL - /etc/systemd/logind.conf was doing nothing
for me.

Reluctantly - I installed lightdm, found how to make lightdm auto login,
and rebooted.
Seems to be working fine - my issues were then resolved.

I can do control-alt-f1 and switch back back to control-alt-f7 and no login
screen appears.
I can tell the HDMI to switch inputs to another computer - and switch back
- and no login screen appears.

So "thank you" everyone for guiding me.
Enjoy your Saturday.

Jerry
