FW: Switching screens

[Stanley - stanlyn.com]

Thanks Ken, exactly what I was looking for...  I would have never found it unless I read the manual from cover to cover, as I've always used screen, therefore I was looking for a flag or switch to the screen command.

Thanks again,
Stanley

That's what the SCREEN command does.  You want SWITCHTO.
