RE: Changes since 4.5...
July 6, 1993
SW 4.5a
/@# will now not error if the row value is greater than the screen mode
will allow. It will simply place the cursor on the last row. Likewise,
if the column value is out of range, the cursor will be placed at column 1.
New switch /3D# will display the window frame with a 3-D effect. The # can
be 1 - 4 and will shade portions of the frame like /S does for the back-
ground. If /3D follows a /S#, the 3D effect will be on the same side as the
shadow when no number is specified. The D is optional as it is only used
for readability.

SW 4.5b
Help window now possible with User Input within screen definitions. F1 will
display the window with the heading _window_help.
Screen Saver added for User Input and Query. The /D# switch will set the
delay from 1 to 30 minutes. Default is 5. A /D0 will disable the feature.
Changed the way environment variables are handled so that they are evaluted
as the window is displayed rather than when the when the line is read into
memory.

SW 4.6
The window border background color can be set separately from the window
background color using /F##,##. The ## after the comma will set the
background color. If you want to use the default foreground color, just
use /F,##.
Multiple screen def labels can be used on the same command line. This can
expand the flexibility the using screen defs to the limit of available memory.
The command line format is: SW @filename label label... Only one help window
is allowed within the group. The only limitation is the length of the command
line (128 characters) and available memory.
Internal errors, file not found, label not found, etc., now return EL 127
if you use the extension .SW for your creen def files, SW will use it as a
default. SW @filename is the same as SW @filename.sw.
Window width calculations have been corrected so that environment variable
values shorter than the variable name will not result in a box that is too
wide.
There is now an encryption version of SW available for anyone who needs a
little extra security. It functions exactly the same as the normal version
and will also read straight text files but it will also read specially
encrypted files for those cases where you need to keep people from modifying
things. Encrypt/decrypt program is included. See docs for more info

Check the History section in the doc file for page references to the new
features.
