Have you ever tried to use the symbolic debugger to trap bugs in programs
that make calls to the SMG$ routines?  It's not all that useful because,
alas, the screen output is disturbed.  What I would like to do is
have the debugger get its I/O from a different terminal than where the 
'screen mode' program is running.  Does anyone know how to do this?
Are there better ways to debug 'screen mode' programs?  Thanks for the
help.
