This is an addition to the message I sent about "Logbase" and
"Physbase". I realize now that the incorrect screen dump may have been a
result of using the GEM desk top screen dump function and not a call
from the current application. If this were the case then it does
indicate a bug. This bug is not in TOS however. The GEM desktop is
itself an application and should set "Logbase" to "Physbase" before
performing the screen dump. "Logbase" should then be restored to its
original value after the dump. You can avoid this problem by making sure
that your application sets "Logbase" to "Physbase" when it is done
updating the screen.
