[comp.sys.amiga.tech] SDB

I have a slight problem with Manx's SDB. When I have a program loaded in SDB
 in source mode, (program loaded from ram:), and try to resave the program
from my text editor (say, after correcting an error SDB helped me find), the
editor can't because SDB has a hold (lock?) on it, presumably. Can I unload
the program from SDB without exiting SDB, or somehow get around this problem?
Thanx in advance.

Okay, now don't laugh but I
need to write a program in amiga Basic (I said don't laugh!). Because of
things beyond my controll I have to program in basic, My problem is that
the programs output is going to be Genlocked over an external video signal...
So HOW DO I GET RID OF THAT STUPID BASIC BORDER? Even with all the gadgets off
and no title the border exist (about a pixel thick) and if I change it's
color to match the backgroud it doesn't matter because the genlock picks
out palette 0 to be transparent and the
Border is palette 2!  Should I use the Intuition library to create another
boarder over the existing one (useing palette 0)? Will this work? Will I
not beable to create a border large enough to cover the old? Please give
me some help with this project!!

I can't read this news group So if you have an idea how I should do this
