Re: My windows, they be flashin'!

[Pat Barber <mboceanside@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Not knowing the structure of your program: any time I use windows,
I do NOT use any of the "special" keywords at all when I define
the window display.... I use SDA(as you do I guess) and it just
pops up when you EXFMT.  Is this a subfile inside a window by
any chance ??? I have done experiments where I placed 6 or more
windows on top of each other and that works just fine... The window
simply goes away when you hit enter, but you mention that you 
"redisplay" the window so I wonder what you are trying to do with
this window ??? Are you taking data in from the window or is it
just a "info" window with some message in it ???
