Thanks, Roger. I did end-up backing into this particular lesson.

Clear the display... but under 3.5 I discover that it's unnecessary. There
was something in my app under 3.0 (and I forget what) where a previous form
would leave artifacts, and the new form wouldn't clear it.
Comment - the new OS's are becoming increasingly unforgiving. Is this our
lot in life now? There's already some user angst out there, with 3.3
evidently breaking enough old code to be noticable. I've even seen a
request in the discussion groups asking how to downgrade a Vx to 3.1!
"Color" me thankful that y'all seeded 3.5 so early.
