Re: 'Blinking Screen on Exit from Clip app

Pete & Klaus:

I tried your suggestions earlier.

They do not work when I use 'Yellow on Blue' as my standard Command
Prompt colour.

*But* if I set up the Command Prompt screen as the standard 'white on
black' (as suggested in an earlier post above), then the blinks stops -- But
I lose my favourite 'yellow on blue' :((

Thanks for all your help.

Pete/Mel,

You could try:

entryColor = setcolor()

as the very first color command when your app loads, and

setcolor(entryColor)

on exit. The latter is much easier if your app has only one exit
point :-)

Good places to put that kind of code would be in an init procedure and
an exit procedure, making entryColor a static variable. That removes
the need to search for and modify possible exit points in various
modules.

Regards,
Klas
