Re: [Visualpython-users] cleaning up

I don't understand this description of making a display invisible and
then visible. What I thought would happen is what does happen: Setting
display invisible just makes it invisible, doesn't delete it, and then
later making it visible again makes it visible again, with all of its
objects intact.
