Which means that filePro has the correct screen information, and it is
something external to filePro which erased the bottom of the screen.

Are you still using SYSTEM NOREDRAW?  Does something in the escape
sequence you're using also clear part of the screen?

What is the exact processing you are using?  Dennis said it's an @key
event, which will not put you into update on the screen unless you
explicitly request it via SCREEN or POPUP UPDATE.  (Or do something
like a PUSHKEY "U".)  What is the rest of the @key event code, beyond
the SYSTEM command?

Does Ctrl-L redraw the screen while in update mode?
