Hello Åke,

Is this something that is doable or is it simply not going to work?

This is doable.

WRITE your background and then all the windows. Don't write to the background format afterwards, just READ it. No EXFMT!

I've learned to use global CA definitions, and do not use EXFMT, but use WRITEs to the individual record formats/windows, and then a READ from the display file itself. That particularly helps in receiving keypresses even if the user moved the cursor to an inactive window. Need to retest and verify this, though.

That should to the trick. AFAIK the split between header and trailer mentioned by Gerald is a requirement of subfile but not windows.

:wq! PoC
