Pcopy

There is a command in VBDOS called PCOPY which saves the screen display.

You

can then restore it. This is particularly useful if you are displaying an
error message in a box and then need to restore the original screen. Is
there an equivalent in PowerBasic 3 for DOS. If so what is it!!

There is no built-in equivalent in PB DOS 3.5, you'd have to write your own
routine (preferably in machine language).

If you installed the examples in the default "pb35\examples" folder, there
should be
a file called "scrnunit.bas" in it That contains the pgcopy subroutine which
does about
the same thing.
