Re: [foxboro] Resetting graphics optimization for FoxView?

Alex,

I worded that poorly.

When I say previous display, I meant it in the sense of "the same display I
would get if I clicked the previous display button"

So, after running fdf_g and g_fdf on a graphic and opening that graphic in
FoxView, when I click on an object that opens an overlay, the overlay opens, and
the display closes, reverting to previous display.

This happens because of the way we call overlays, which works fine in DM, and
works fine in converted displays, but seems to have a problem after running
fdf_g and g_fdf.  Here's an example of the action configured for clicking on an
object (courier formatting):
CON OBJ
NUM TYP  row,col  type              acc  path                            
--- ---- -------  ----------------- ---  --------------------------------
179 RECT  76,37%  Execute             0                                   
    almack D601GW_816A:MA6649;close -all;ov /usr/chh/816/disp/M816/M6649 -ontop
-l LL

I expect it is the "close -all" that is the issue.  "close -all" is supposed to
close all overlays.  It seems to be closing all overlays and the display now.
