TEACH WINDOW Revised by Aaron Sloman Jan 94 for the Menu System ENLARGING THE EDIT WINDOW Notice how, if you invoke this teach file while you are in the middle of another, the previous file remains visible on the other half of the screen. (This won't be true if you are using XVED, the multi-window version of VED). You can change the size of the current window by clicking on the WindowSize button on the Toplevel menu. If you are using XVED clicking repeatedly will make the window cycle through five different size. If you are not using XVED it will switch between two states. a. The current file uses the whole screen or window b. The current file uses only half the screen or window, allowing another file to be visible in the other half. If you are not using XVED you can achieve this effect with the SETWINDOW function, as follows: 1. first press the key marked ESC (usuall top left of keyboard) 2. then press the key marked "W" (think of W for "Window size"). If you are NOT using Multi-window XVED, try that now. Press the ESC key and the W key in turn. Repeat a few times to see what happens. Those two instructions will be referred to as the "ESC w" key sequence, or sometimes " w" as a reminder that there's a single key for ESC. Experiment with the PageUP and PageDown keys with the large window and with the small window. When you quit a file, the 'editor' takes you back to the last file you were looking at, i.e. it becomes visible on the screen. You will see the same text as before. You can quit this file by typing ENTER q RETURN or ESC q --- File: $poplocal/local/menu/teach/window --- University of Birmingham Poplog LOCAL File
