Thanks to the SCL guru, who is probably still suffering from insomnia waiting
to be the first to see year 2000 problems <g>.
_swap_out_ is just the method to use.
Thanks as well to a correspondent at GLAXOWELLCOME and Peter Crawford for the
same suggestion.

Rather than hiding the graphic text, I suggest you use _swap_out_ to remove it
from the frame, and _swap_in_ to put it back when you need it. Then it is not
physically on the screen except when you want it there and the text doesn't get
in the way.
I did a similar app a while back where I removed the pushbuttons when I didn't
want them to be clicked. Using _swap_out_ just takes it right off the screen
