DP ->SwpRunCmd() should do the same thing... The video mode should no
   ->be affected in a swapping routine...
There's some Blinker functions you can set to save and restore the
video mode settings during a swap, the default being not saved. So
there must be some difference.
Additionally, if you redirect the program like so:
PROGNAME > GPF.TXT
which is a great way to store GPF messages to a text file, there's a
side effect in that all video generated by a swap and it's child
process end up in the GPF.TXT file instead of on the screen. To the
end user, it looks like the program locked up during the swap. But all
video during normal program operation appears on a screen.
So there must be some difference.
