Function UNBOX()
Action Removes a box created by makebox()
Returns
Category Popup
Syntax Unbox(<expC>,[expN1..expN4])
Description UNBOX restores the screen <expC> saved by
MAKEBOX(). MAKEBOX() stores the dimensions
and color in the returned string, so it is not
necessary to pass these to UNBOX(). If the dimensions
are passed, UNBOX() assumes these are not part of
the saved string, and assumes the string is a
savescreen() string. If the string and any other
single param are passed, UNBOX() assumes it is
a full screen (0,0,24,79) restore and does so.
Options [expN1..expN4] - the dimensions of the box.
Use these to UNBOX() a screen saved with SAVESCREEN().
Examples msg = MAKEBOX(10,40,12,60,'W/R,+GR/R')
@11,42 SAY "What's up, Doc ?"
inkey(0)
UNBOX(m->msg)
..or unboxing a SAVESCREEN() screen
msg = savescreen(5,5,10,10)

MAKEWIND().
