[noclear] Normally when the system returns from the protocol it will attempt to keep the screen 'nice' by re-drawing it. There may be cases where this is not desired. This tag will specifically tell the system to do not try to keep it nice.
One example is, I want to see the E-Mail address on the managemet screen - ok there are many other ways to do this and allow users to edit it as well - this is an example we get asked for and a simple way to do it
This will display the E-Mail address on line 14, nothing will be saved, the [noclear] will make sure the screen is not re-freashed.
