FW: Switching screens

[Scott Walker]

I also have trouble remembering that command.

Maybe they could also call it with:

"screenstay" or something else that starts with "screen" to make it more
obvious.

Right now three commands that are closely related have totally different
names:

display, screen, switchto


Regards,

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.
