subject: MULTIPLE WINDOWS discussion: You can split your PC-Type II screen into multiple windows in which you can view different parts of the same file or different files. The Screen Options menu provides all the screen windowing functions. This menu is reached via the "(S)creen" option from the Main Menu. The available options in the Screen Options menu will change depending upon the number of windows currently displayed on your screen. 旼컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴커 쿞creen Options: � page 팠袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴曲袴袴袴� �(S)plit window � 231 �(D)rop active window � 233 �(R)otate active window� 233 �(M)ove division bar(s)� 234 �(E)dit different files� 235 쿮(X)it �<--Exit Screen Options 읕컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴켸 222 subject: SPLIT SCREEN OPTIONS overview: You can split your screen into 2, 3 or 4 windows in which you can view different parts of the same file and/or different files. You can split your screen with the Screen Options menu which is loaded by selecting the "(S)creen" option from the Main Menu. The Screen Options menu adds and drops options depending upon the number of windows being shown and the number of files in memory. In its simplest form (screens not split and only one file in memory) it looks like: 旼컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� 쿞creen Options: � 팠袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴� �(V)ertical window split � �(H)orizontal window split� 쿮(X)it from menu. � 읕컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� For the purposes of discussion, the following picture will be used to depict your screen as it would normally appear with PC-Type II active. �袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴뒨栢培袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �....^....^....^....^....^....^....^....^..� 붜栢栢栢栢栢栢栢栢栢栢栢栢栢栢栢栢栢栢栢栢舫 � Message line � Further, assume multiple files are active which adds one more menu option: "(E)dit different files". 旼컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� 쿞creen Options: � 팠袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴� �(V)ertical window split � �(H)orizontal window split� �(E)dit different files � 쿮(X)it from menu. � 읕컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� The discussion which follows will describe each of the Screen Options menu functions. 223 (V)ertical: The Screen Options menu initially provides the option to split the screen vertically or horizontally.

After the split takes place, the cursor remains in the "same" window it was in initially. (D)rop: In any of the split screen configurations depicted above, a screen can be "dropped" at any time with the "(D)rop active window" option. You can continue to "drop" windows until the screen is restored to just one screen. (R)otate: The "(R)otate active window" option will move the cursor from window to window. (This is equivalent to the keystroke Ctrl N outside the menus). When the screen is split into four sections, the order of rotation is: 旼컴쩡컴� � 1 � 2 � 쳐컴탠컴� � 3 � 4 � 읕컴좔컴� 226 (M)ove: This option allows you to move the division bar(s) between the windows in a specified direction. When you select the "(M)ove division bar(s)" option, the following menu will be displayed: 旼컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� 쿞creen Movement: � 팠袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴� �(D)own � �(L)eft � �(R)ight � �(U)p � �(C)enter � 읕컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� Selecting "(U)p" or "(D)own" targets the horizontal division bar between the top and bottom window(s). "(L)eft" and "(R)ight" targets the vertical division bar between the left and right window(s). The targeted division bar will be moved in the direction specified. Option "(C)enter" returns the division bar(s) to the center location of the screen. How far the bar will move depends upon your response to: 旼컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴커 쿜uestion: � 팠袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴孤 � � 쿏efine shift amount.� �(Press 1,2,3, ...,0)� � � 읕컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴켸 pressing 1, 2, ...9, or 0 (zero counts as 10), will cause the bar to be moved so many columns or row in the direction specified. PC-Type II sets its own limits as to how far you can adjust the position of these bars. If your request exceeds these limits, no movement will take place. With the screen split in four sections, moving the bar to the right and down results in a screen like: �袴袴袴孤栢栢팠袴袴袴袴錮佶袴袴뒨栢培袴袴袴� � 납 � � 납 � � 납 � � 납 � �....^....^....^....^...좋....^....^....^..� 勁袴袴袴뒨栢培袴袴袴袴袴됐袴袴孤栢栢팠袴袴攷 � 납 � � 납 � �....^....^....^....^...좋....^....^....^..� 붜栢栢栢栢栢栢栢栢栢栢栢栢栢栢栢栢栢栢栢栢舫 � Message line � 227 (E)dit: To view different files simultaneously, you must be able to load other files into the windows. You can do this by going to the Command Line and issuing an EDIT command for a new file when the screen is already split. Doing so will cause the new file to replace the old file in the current window. Other windows will be unaffected. If multiple files are already loaded, use the "(E)dit different files" option in the Screen Options menu. This allows you to select one of the files currently in memory and display it in the current window. This is the procedure: (1) Move the cursor to the window you want to use to display the file of interest. (2) Select the Screen Options menu and select the "(E)dit different files" option. Doing so will cause a menu to appear in which the names of the files currently in memory are displayed as shown below. 旼컴컴컴컴컴컴컴커 쿌ctive Files: � 팠袴袴袴袴袴袴袴孤 �(A) DOCHILI.PCT � �(B) DOCREFMT.PCT� 읕컴컴컴컴컴컴컴켸 (3) Press the key designated to the left of the file you want to edit. When you follow this procedure, the file you select will replace the file in the current window. When you remove a file from memory and multiple windows are visible, PC-Type II will automatically replace the deleted file in any windows in which it was located with another file which is still active. 228
