Hi Mark,

>Since you can not add an object to _screen, you are having to create the object as a memory variable which indeed would be lost by a *clear all* or *release all*.

You can add an object to the _SCREEN. It will survive RELEASE ALL, since RELEASE releases only variables. But CLEAR ALL releases not only variables, but all objects. Even those that are part of _SCREEN and those were no object reference exists anymore.
