Hope I can explain this. Well I'd like to have my Blends frozen, ranges frozen, what is in the palette, previous region and the panels in fill modalities and line modalities, current brush. Maybe this is too much, just want a snapshot of the panels even if the data isn't around anymore. So I have something to work with. So if I say to you I'm using 75% edge blended transparency horizontal dual range warp you'll know what I mean. I think you do anyway but *I* can't remember all of that from picture to picture. Is there anyway Ham-E hardwar-wise could assist screen redraw? I know, go buy a 3000 and stuff a '40 in there. Well, in the awful PC world they appear to have hardware screen redraw assistance. Not cheap though and looks like afterthought hardware anyway. But is there a way?
