Frankly, I would prefer the ide tools palette and the Devo tools palette overlap at will. One or the other can be in front, overlapped or not. I generally only use the ide tools when creating UI objects, so most of the time it’s invisible. Currently, to get the Devo palette to go as far left a

Klaus, I would display the SVG image, then do a screen capture of the rect of the image. I'm not at my computer, and forget the specific commands, and it might cause undesirable screen action, depending on what you want it to do, but it would work. Bill William Prothero http://es.earthednet.or

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

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
