- Choose Option B from the BOXER main menu to create a full screen box.
- You can use almost all of the ASCII character set to create a border. (Some
- of the exceptions are CHR$(7) which will ring your computer's bell; CHR$(0)
- CHR$(0), CHR$(32); CHR$(255) which won't print anythhing to the screen.)
- Perhaps, you will want to take a tour of ASCII before making your choice.
- If so, choose Option A on the BOXER main menu.
- You can create a full screen box by typing in an ASCII number at the
- prompt. BOXER will then show you how the box will look. You also will be
- given three options:
-
- 1. Save the box to "TESTBOX.BAS"
- (Strike the ENTER key)
-
- 2. Redo your box choice.
- (In order to do this, strike the ENTER key and choose Option
- 1 from the window which has been added to the Options menu.
- Strike the ENTER key again.)
-
- 3. Return to BOXER main menu.
- (Strike the ENTER key)

- Choose Option C from the BOXER main menu to create a located box.
- You can create a full screen box by typing in the following information
- at the appropriate prompts:
-
- @ Width of box from 10 to 70 columns
-
- @ASCII number selection for border
-
- @ Location of top row and left column for box
- (Both entries are made at the same prompt. Be sure to
- separate your selections with a comma. For example: 3, 12
- would mean Row 3, Column 12.)
-
- @Depth of box
- (No more than 22nd row)
-
-
- BOXER will then show you how the box will look. You also will be
- given three options:
-
- 1. Save the box to "TESTBOX.BAS"
- (Strike the ENTER key)
-

- Choose Option D from the BOXER main menu to select one of 12
- boxes which have been created for you. These boxes have been designed to
- be full screen boxes. But they can be adjusted to the users' needs. (See
- BORDER.BAS as example of how to resize one of the special boxes.)
-
- BOXER will then show you how the box will look. You also will be
- given three options:
-
- 1. Save the box to "TESTBOX.BAS"
- (Strike the ENTER key)
-
