Re: Keep background screen on display when using window keyword

["Teijgeler" <coteijgeler@xxxxxxxxx>]

John,

ASSUME is not needed on a full screen display.
In the window display put in the DDS keywords KEEP and USRRSTDSP. Windows do 
not need OVERLAY, unless it contains a SFL, but then that keyword should not be 
in the record format, that defines the window.

Hopes this helps.

Regards,
Carel Teijgeler.
