SAVE SCREEN

    SAVE SCREEN saves the current SCREEN to a buffer or optional memory
    variable.

Syntax

    SAVE SCREEN [TO <memvar>]

Option

    To: The TO clause specifies a memory variable to SAVE the current
    SCREEN.  The variable created is character type and the length of the
    screen is 4000 bytes.

Usage

    SAVE SCREEN is used in conjunction with RESTORE SCREEN to
    eliminate the need to repaint an original screen that has been
    temporarily replaced.

    In addition to ordinary memory variables, you can also SAVE SCREENs to
    array elements making screen management easier.  Note, however, you
    cannot SAVE arrays to .mem files in order to SAVE multiple screens to
    disk.
