sm_leavelets you leave a Panther application temporarily—for example, to escape to the command interpreter or execute some graphics functions. When you call this function before leaving,sm_leaveperforms these tasks:
- Clears the physical screen, but not the internal screen image.
- Resets the operating system channel.
- Resets the terminal with the
RESETsequence found in the video file.
