Paul,

The only way to clear something you've added to _Screen object is to do
explicitly or quit the VFP session. Because of your specific
application, you may want to add a note to the user. IMO, if you have
your startup program creating any kind of session variables, they should
be put on the _Screen object so you can be assured that they will endure
the entire session.
