FREEZE instruction

[Han]

It is used to prevent the system from updating the display, generally after the program finishes. FREEZE does not halt the program, so using FREEZE multiple times in a program does not really make much sense. When most programs on the Prime finish, we are generally shown a popup window of either the value returned by the program, or the value of the last command issued just as the program ends. This screen, of course, updates the display. So if you have a nice image you want to remain on the screen after the program is done, use FREEZE to prevent the system's internal display routines from refreshing the screen.
