This is normal SCREENMGR behavior. In fact, the KAOS programmers tried
to add a 'smart redraw' option to their TOS version. It turned out that
quite a few programs didn't like this and messes up their redraw.


I don't understand though why one would like to redraw other program's
windows, like those of a DA. Can you be more explicit?
