George,

Despite the fact I could swear I already had your code working without
GsDRAWENV.isbg and only GsSortClear(), I freshly unzipped program 5 from
tutorial 2 and commented out the 4 lines related to GsDRAWENV.isbg.

Lo and behold the same problem. The screen does not clear, even though you
have a GsSortClear() call in your UpdateScreen().

Cheers

ScoTT
