Glad to hear that these things work AS THEY SHOULD.  The SCREENQUIET
"problem" isn't noticed unless you use it with CUSTOMBITMAP, so I
referred to them together.  I wasn't trying to say that CUSTOMBITMAP was
broken.

Sorry if you took offense, Peter, and sorry you got the impression that
I was "raising an alarm".

The original poster said that instead of just clearing the "menu bar"
area as 1.3 did, some version of 2.0 was clearing the entire screen
(bitmap, actually).  Randell Jesup then said that it had been fixed, and
to quote: "it works as it did in 1.3."  (Look up there, "it's in there!")

I was merely trying to clarify if Commodore thought that clearing the
"menu bar" area (in 1.3) was a "feature", and would be carried into the
final release of 2.0.

It was just a question.
