BE WINDOW
Description: Displays a double-lined window. The window overlays any data
inside it.
Syntax: Version 4.5: BE WINDOW (top-row)[,]
(left-col)[,](bottom-row)[,] (right-col)
[[BLINKING] [BRIGHT | BOLD] [(frame-color)]
[[ON] (fill-color)]] [SHADOW] [ZOOM]
Parameters:
(top-row) The row on the screen where you want to display the top of the
window. The number of the first row is 0.
(left-col) The column on the screen where you want to display the left
side of the window. The number of the first column is 0.
(bottom-row) The row on the screen where you want to display the bottom of
the window. The last row on most standard (25-line) screens is
24, but some adapters can display more rows. The (bottom-row)
value must be greater than the (top-row) value.
(right-col) The column on the screen where you want to display the right
side of the window. The last column number is 79. The
(right-col) value must be greater than the (left-col) value.
BLINKING Makes the frame repeatedly blink on and off.
BRIGHT | BOLD Displays the window-frame lines in high intensity.
(frame-color) The color of the window-frame lines. The default is the
current foreground color setting for the screen. After BE
WINDOW executes, any characters you display in the window
using other BE commands, such as BE ASK or BE ROWCOL, appear
in (frame-color). If you use a DOS command such as ECHO or
TYPE to display characters, the characters appear in the
original screen foreground and background colors. See
<NUBESA>.
(fill-color) The background color of the window. If you do not provide
(frame-color), you must include the ON keyword. The default
color is black. After BE WINDOW executes, any characters you
display in the window using other BE commands, such as BE ASK
or BE ROWCOL, appear on a background of (fill-color). If you
use a DOS command such as ECHO or TYPE to display characters,
the characters appear in the original screen foreground and
background colors.
SHADOW Creates a gray shadow on the right and bottom sides of the window.
Any characters that the shadow covers are still visible. The shadow
might not be visible on some LCD screens.
ZOOM Makes the window appear to blossom out from the center of the
window.
EXAMPLE: Display a window that is large enough to contain a 30 column by 9
row area of data in the center of a standard (25 line by 80
character) screen and that appears as a black frame on a green
background.
Enter: BE WINDOW 7 24 17 55 BLACK ON GREEN
