Re: lock screen gotcha revisited

I didn't realize that the lockscreen command only applied to the handler that sets it. Does this mean that each script has to set lockscreen if it needs it? If lockscreen was either globally true or not, you could do: On doscreenstuff1 Set lockscreen to true Handler1 Handler2

Re: lock screen gotcha revisited

Seems like it would be much simpler if lockscreen just kept the screen locked until unlockscreen was invoked, but there was an update screen command when forced updates were needed. No counters to keep track of. Best Bill William Prothero http://ed.earthednet.org > On Aug 21, 2017, at 10:40
