BE BOX
Description: Displays a box outline on the screen and does not overlay any
data inside the box.
Syntax: Version 4.5: BE BOX (top-row)[,] (left-col)[,]
(bottom-row)[,] (right-col) [DOUBLE | SINGLE]
[[BLINKING] [BRIGHT | BOLD] [(line-color)]
[[ON] (back-color)]]
Parameters:
(top-row) The row on the screen where you want to display the top line
of the box. The number of the first row is 0.
(left-col) The column on the screen where you want to display the left
line of the box. The number of the first column is 0.
(bottom-row) The row on the screen where you want to display the bottom
edge of the box. 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
edge of the box. The last column number is 79. The (right-col)
value must be greater than the (left-col) value.
DOUBLE | SINGLE Specifies either a double-line box or a single-line box.
The default value is DOUBLE.
BLINKING Causes the box to blink on and off. On some monitors this
keyword works only if you specify (back-color).
BRIGHT | BOLD Displays the box lines in high intensity.
(line-color) The color of the box lines. The default is the current
foreground color setting for the screen. After BE BOX
executes, any characters you display within the box border
using other BE commands, such as BE ASK <NUBEASK> or BE ROWCOL
<NUBEROWC>, appear in (line-color). If you use a DOS command
such as ECHO or TYPE to display characters, the characters
appear on the screen in the original foreground and background
colors.
(back-color) The color of the background frame for the box lines. If you do
not provide (line-color), you *MUST* include the ON keyword.
The default is the current background setting for the screen.
After BE BOX executes, any characters you display within the
box border using other BE commands, such as BE ASK or BE
ROWCOL, appear on a background of (back-color). If you use an
DOS command such as ECHO or TYPE to display characters, those
characters appear in the original foreground and background
colors.
Example: To display a box that is large enough to contain a 10 column
by 5 row area of data in the upper left corner of the screen
and that appears as blinking, green double lines on a black
border, enter:
BE BOX 0, 0, 6, 11 DOUBLE BLINKING GREEN ON BLACK
