RE: Sub File Window Program clears the screen

[Winchester Terry <terry.winchester@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I usually put a dummy record at the bottom of my DDS
with the "assume" keyword.  Also make sure your window
has the OVERLAY keyword.  Not sure if this will work
or not when using Display/Accept.

                R DUMMY
                                            ASSUME
                                       24 79' '
