If the overlaid window is contained within the other window, you may also
need to use the despicable ASSUME trick which involves using the ASSUME
keyword on a dummy record format that has a one byte blank field and also
has OVERLAY specified.  Write to the dummy record format before doing
whatever you need to do to to the windows.  It's another stupid DDS keyword
trick that's poorly documented.  I spent most of a day recently trying to
get this to work.  It seems to be counter to what the display programming
and DDS manuals have to say on the subject.  Furthermore, it looks kind of
ugly.

Hi, Fredrick:
 
OVERLAY, optionally PROTECT, optionally CLRL
 
The OVERLAY keyword is the one that will cause the previous RCDFMT not to be
cleared, so that is the technical answer to your question.  Do you have a
specific problem?

another window without erasing the previous window
