- Parameters:
-
- (top-row) The row on the screen where you want to display the top of the
- window. The number of the first row is 0.
-

- side of the window. The number of the first column is 0.
-
- (bottom-row) The row on the screen where you want to display the bottom of
- the window. 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
- side of the window. The last column number is 79. The
- (right-col) value must be greater than the (left-col) value.
-
- BLINKING Makes the frame repeatedly blink on and off.
-
- BRIGHT | BOLD Displays the window-frame lines in high intensity.
-
- (frame-color) The color of the window-frame lines. The default is the
- current foreground color setting for the screen. After BE
- WINDOW executes, any characters you display in the window
- using other BE commands, such as BE ASK or BE ROWCOL, appear
- in (frame-color). If you use a DOS command such as ECHO or
- TYPE to display characters, the characters appear in the
- original screen foreground and background colors. See
- <NUBESA>.
-
- (fill-color) The background color of the window. If you do not provide
- (frame-color), you must include the ON keyword. The default
- color is black. After BE WINDOW executes, any characters you
- display in the window using other BE commands, such as BE ASK
- or BE ROWCOL, appear on a background of (fill-color). If you
- use a DOS command such as ECHO or TYPE to display characters,
- the characters appear in the original screen foreground and
- background colors.
-
- SHADOW Creates a gray shadow on the right and bottom sides of the window.
- Any characters that the shadow covers are still visible. The shadow
- might not be visible on some LCD screens.
-
- ZOOM Makes the window appear to blossom out from the center of the
- window.
-
- EXAMPLE: Display a window that is large enough to contain a 30 column by 9
- row area of data in the center of a standard (25 line by 80
- character) screen and that appears as a black frame on a green
- background.

- Enter: BE WINDOW 7 24 17 55 BLACK ON GREEN
