For your information Wolfgang I do. I have written a screen mode/size button frame button that changes the screen size/mode on the Q40,Q60,Aurora and stores the current size in a public history device. This enables my screen saver program "Nightfall" to know the correct screen size/mode to return to when a screen saver animation module needs to be removed. This means that I can write screen saver animation modules that force a display size/mode that is best for their graphical display yet at the twitch of a mouse return to the display suitable for the program I was working on, ie on the Q60 I can be using Xchange on a 512x256 screen, walk away while a series of animations are run at 1024x256 in high colour and with the twitch of the mouse return to 512x256 suitable for Xchange. OR With QCDEZE package there is a stufferstore/GetStufferHistory package that retrieves the current stuffer buffer contents, storing them in a HISTORY device and using a hotkey combination to display the past contents of the stufferbuffer in a qmenu menu to enable mouse selection of items to restuff for alt/space stuffing into whatever one may be working on. Saves a lot of retyping.
No doubt there are otherways of doing these things but the humble SMSQ/E history device makes it so easy.

I'd be interested to know whether anybody uses that device at all. Wolfgang
