Why not use the REXX/Xedit interface and preface the area as "no display"?.
Look at the filelist code for how to use EXEC and Xedit: it is directly appli-
cable as am example (there are other modules written in REXX, but I can't re-
member their names)  Please no flames: I haven't done something like this for
about a year (I've been struggling in the land of UNIX!)
