I am trying to erase the screen before drawing my new form.

I have an alarm call.  You have to erase the screen or the form that was
on the screen before you called "FrmInitForm" and "FrmDrawForm" is still
there.  If you just call WinDrawForm by itself it just draws the form on
top of the form that is already there and you have a mess.

It would be nice if you could set the form to automatically clear a
blank space the size of the form when the form initializes, but I guess
I can understand why that isn't the standard.

Still, there should be SOME way to erase the form window before drawing
the form because 
        FrmDrawForm
        FrmEraseFrom
        FrmDrawFrom
seems kind of redundant.


What do other people do to clear the window?
