>>> Hullo! <<<
If for example you ask PowerBatch to begin some text box in
column 71 and your text box has 20 columns already, PowerBatch
will tell you that this box cannot be created beyond column 61
(that means you do not have to calculate by hand).
That's all. The program will wait for some keystroke or mouse-
click. If it's a menu, the chosen line number will be returned
through the errorlevel (program exit code).
The width of your text boxes is adapted to the longest text
line. Space between text and border needs to be included at
the edges of this line only. Sometimes you editor might try to
remove trailing blanks as soon as it saves a file - try to use
EDIT from MSDOS then.
And now: Go for it. Look at the file pbhelp.bat and try to un-
derstand what I have done there - refer to the parameter table
for explanation of the program parameters. And try it yourself
- learning by doing is supposed to be the best way to get it.
