   I found the 'clear_screen_on_exec=false' already in my [xtrn_sec].  I    
   created the [xtrn:usurper] section and added that phrase there, but it    
   didn't help.  Adding {at}RESETPAUSE{at} (using the proper @'s) to the    
   display file didn't do anything (also tried POFF and NOPAUSE).   
      
    DM> The screen clear I'm suspecting comes from the exec/prextrn.js file.   
      
   I even commented out these lines from that file:   
      
           if (options.clear_screen_on_exec) {   
                   console.clear();   
           }   
      
   And that also didn't change anything.  This isn't a HUGE problem, but    
   seems strange that it can't be changed...     
      
      
      
      
      
   ... Gone crazy, be back later, please leave message.
