I added code to SCREEN's OpenWindow, Close, and CloseAll that looks for
this problem and works around it. When the current port is valid, we save
it, and when it's invalid we restore it from the last known good value.
This seems to work flawlessly, cleaning up MATLAB's sloppiness with no
side effects.
A new version of SCREEN.mex is enclosed. OpenDLGCloseTest.m shows that
the bug is gone.
A new release is imminent (around end of the march), and will include
this new version of SCREEN.mex.

because Verizon forces me to use that as my "From:" address. My current
email program won't allow me to designate a separate "Reply-to:" address.
