- 1. If your window has to be necessarily larger than the screen, you can
- define a window of any size and control as you want. But manipulating
- the window (using controls) will be a very big hassle. If you are using
- the screen generator, you cannot use the system window controls for too
- large a window size. I think you can go upto 27*82.
-
- 2. I would suggest that you use multiple windows, coordinated with one
- single read. This will enable the user go up and down as they wish.
- This is not only easy to define, but also easy to maintain. Foxpro
- screen generator can handle the code.
