RE: Drawing window border

The reason dots are use for some windows and the pretty graphics for others is that the windows with
dots are not quite big enough. There is an in the window that is to close to the window border.

The GUI window borders take up more space in the buffer, if that space is unavailable, then the system
falls back to dots.

Sorry to bother y'all, but I have an RPG display program ('old
style') calling another program whose only function is to display a
window. (I've coded an unused "ASSUME" record in the 2nd program so
the 1st program's screen is not erased when the 2nd loads.) All works
well the first time. However, after returning to the 1st program, all
subsequent presses of the function key display the 2nd program's
window with NO BORDER around it, which looks very ugly. I've tried it
with and without USRRSTDSP in the 2nd program, all to no avail.

This is a very small but very annoying issue. What on earth could I
be doing/not doing that could cause this? Any ideas? Thanks (in
advance).

I haven't seen _that_ phenomenon exactly, but I _have_ noticed cases in
which a single program, with a single display file, running on a
_physical_ InfoWindow II, will use dots for some window borders, and
InfoWindow II line draw semigraphics for other window borders. I
wouldn't mind knowing the reason for that, myself.
