I'm making a paint application and I have it so that it goes to a separate screen to choose what color you want, but the problem I'm having is that I need a way so that it saves the state of the screen when it goes to the color selection screen because the method I used involves clearing the screen and it is useless changing colors if your drawing is gone every time you change. I'm sort of just learning by experimentation and exploring a tutorial pdf I found, so I'm sure there's much more efficient ways I could do this, but anyways, could anyone help?

You could use GET IMAGE to grab a copy of the screen before you mess it up, then PASTE IMAGE to put it back. Also, you could use COPY BITMAP to store the screen, then copy it back after your color menu.

Check both those out in the help files for details on how to use them.

Good luck!
