FW: Switching screens

[Scott Walker]

I THINK the difference is what happens when processing ends.

I think after a "display", when processing ends, fp puts you back on
whatever screen you were on when the "display" was hit.

With "switchto", when processing ends,  you stay on the screen that
"switchto" took you to.

I think, years ago, before "switchto", you had to make use of "display" in
automatic processing to achieve something like that result.

Regards,
Scott

I was wanting to say DISPLAY earlier.  What's the difference between
switchto and display?
