I've seen a couple of desktop apps which take over the whole screen while
they're active (ie the iconbar icon has been clicked), then return to the
desktop afterwards without the "Press SPACE or click mouse to return to
desktop" message. The apps in question were a home accounts program and
!StrongEd, which you want to stay resident while you're not using them.

I'm trying to do this for some PD software I'm writing - how is it done?
I've tried to do it with a second bank of vdu ram but with no success.
