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.
