- WINDOW COMMANDS
-
- NYWord allows you to have two horizontal windows on the screen at the
- same time. Each window can have a separate file, or the same file.
-
- Since the 10 "pick" buffers are common to both windows, you can cut
- and paste text between windows. You can copy or pick text into a
- buffer,move to the other window, then use the <PUT> command to trans-
- fer the text from the pick buffer into the window.
-
- <SPLIT WINDOW> opens up another window at the bottom half on the
- screen. You are prompted for the name of the file to be in the bottom
- window. Type the file name, or press <RETURN> if you want the same
- file in the bottom window.
-
- <GOTO WINDOW> moves the cursor to its previous position in the other
- window.
-
- <CLOSE WINDOW> closes the current window and makes file in the other
- window the current file. You are prompted to save the file in the
- closed window.
-
- <CHANGE WINDOW> closes the file in the current window, and prompts you
- for a new file to be edited in that window. This is equivalent to
- closing a window, and splitting it again.
-
- <CHANGE WINDOW SIZE> allows you to change the size of the current
- window. You can have the window take anywhere from 3 lines to the
- whole screen. If you have two full-screen windows, then you can toggle
- between them with the <GOTO WINDOW> command.
