Any way to use transparency in SCREEN 0?

[SMcNeill]

No luck getting _copyimage to work in SCREEN 0 to pick up a screen with both the hardware and software images present. So no way to make  copy into a hardware only image. If I could do that, situation solved.

Not *today*, but I mentioned it to @a740g and he didn't seem to think it'd be that hard to work into the language.  You *could* already do a work around by saving to disk with _SaveImage (it works with SCREEN 0), and then _LOADIMAGE that saved image, and then _COPYIMAGE that software image to hardware.  

That's basically the process we'd implement behind the screens (though with it all being mem streams and no disk read/writes required), to add that functionality to _COPYIMAGE(text_screen_handle, 33).   It seems pretty straight forward, and if you can wait until the next release, it may be something that we can add into the language by then for added flexibility with that command.  It'd be SLOW as you'd convert from text to software to hardware, but it should be *possible*, rather than just tossing that error that you see now.

Today, the solution would be:
_SaveImage "foo.png"
temp = _LoadImage("foo.png", 32)
hw = _CopyImage(temp, 33)
_FreeImage temp

Once we expand the functionality, it'd just be:
hw = _CopyImage(0, 33)

So... you can do a work around yourself, or.. wait for updates and expansions which may, or may not, be soon(tm).
