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.
