But I'm confused by your LOCKSCREENS.
You set to .T. immediately after you save the screen but only reset it to .F. immediately before you restore the screen IN ANOTHER ROUTINE.
I don't think you can expect anything on the screen to occur 'as expected' while LOCKSCREEN = .T., so anything you do after it's set to .T. is unpredictable I would say.

in the Command Window it works as I would expect EVEN THOUGH the _Screen prop "PrintScr" says [NONE]!
