- OK, fine for full screen paging. The original contributer was looking
- for scrolled reportd in a window. I would imagine something like:
-
- OPEN WINDOW win1, AT 3, 3 WITH 10 ROWS, 40 COLUMNS
- PAGE <textfile>
-
- I don't believe that the compiler should be responsible for checking
- line lengths, simply foreshortening long lines should be ok, that
- would make the implementation easier anyway.
