Larry, Here is a segment of code from a game I am working on...It selects a
screen for i/o, etc. Shout if you need more explanations:

 grpnum = getpid();
 path=open("/w",S_IREAD+S_IWRITE);
 if(path<1) dosomething to terminate...
 _gs_opt(path,&optbuf);  ...ya might want more here
 pause=optbuf.sg_pause;  ...to set up the keyboard
 optbuf.sg_pause=0;
 _ss_opt(path,&optbuf);
 KilBuf(path,grpnum,0);
 DWSet(path,0,0,0,80,26,WHITE,BLACK,BLACK);
 ScaleSw(path,0);    /* make sure scaling is on */
 LSet(path,0);
 CurOff(path);
 ...more init stuff ...
 _ss_wset(path,WT_FWIN,&windat);
 BColor(path,BLACK);
 Clear(path);
 Select(path);

I've not run into the 'fuzzy screen' problem. The "more init stuff" apparently
takes the time required (from Mike's message).
