Re: Overlays and Display Screens

Alan,

What are the DSPSIZes defined? One screen in *DSP# and the other in *DSP4?
or something like that?

If both are defined in the DSPFs, both should be in the same order. I may
be wrong but I think, the first DSPF determins the screen mode for that
moment.

Other possibility opening and closing the window DSPF before writing DSPF 1
to the screen (like with a multiple selected SFL records).

I never use OVERLAY, as it is not required for writing windows, unless a
SFL in a window.

With regards,
Carel Teijgeler

We have a programmer here who is trying to get a window to pop up still

The display is in a separate display file and he has tried Overlay and

Putovr but nothing seems to work. As soon as he displays the window, the

screen background goes blank.

Is there a special trick to get the screen to stay if you are calling to a

separate program with it's own display file? The window is a window

subfile.
