Clearing half a screen

[David McFarlane]

For the record, with judicious use of properties 
on the Frame tab (Width, Height, X, Y, XAlign, 
YAlign), you can superimpose TextDisplays or 
Slides on an existing display to create your 
desired effect and many other effects 
besides.  But Mich is right that it is more the 
"E-Prime way" to just compose a complete Slide 
for each display.  And in either case you still do not need any code.
