Hi Mark,
BINGO. +1.
That worked. QB64 help says you can't free it until you exit the screen. My goof was I was experimenting trying to free it by using...
_FREEIMAGE overlay
instead of...
_FREEIMAGE hardware_overlay
The former was causing errors to pop up.
Thanks!
Pete
PS Yes, you can easily mimic cursor flashing in SCREEN 0, which has a flashing text cursor, SCREEN 12 (no cursor), etc. but it is a bit more involved when using a hardware image overlay. I'm doing it this way for the overlap effect.
