Ralf, I don't think this is a CP/M problem. I have used 60K Microsoft CP/M
2.23 on an oldstyle SoftCard in both a ][+ and a //e, and 64K PCPI CP/M 2.2 on
an Applicard, and I don't get this screen clearing that you describe. Certain
programs from certain vendors may do it, but the following programs I've used
don't, at least on my system:
WordStar
DataStar
ReportStar
MicroCalc
Strunk & White
Turbo Pascal
Microsoft F80/M80/L80
All the standard CP/M tools
Sorry I can't be more informative in a positive way, but I hope this will help
point you in the right direction. Good luck in finding an answer.
