   Most likely, it's a screen-clear sequence that's following the display of your   
   file. You can either:   
   set clear_screen_on_exec=false in the [xtrn_sec] or [xtrn:usurper] section of   
   your ctrl/modopts.ini file, or add {at}RESETPAUSE{at} code to the end of your   
   display file. One or either of those should do the trick.   
      
   The screen clear I'm suspecting comes from the exec/prextrn.js file.
