                                 BE WINDOW 
 

Description:   Displays a double-lined window. The window overlays any data
               inside it. 
 
Syntax:        Version 4.5:   BE WINDOW (top-row)[,]
                              (left-col)[,](bottom-row)[,] (right-col) 
                              [[BLINKING] [BRIGHT | BOLD] [(frame-color)] 
                              [[ON] (fill-color)]] [SHADOW] [ZOOM] 
 
                                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. 
 
(left-col)     The column on the screen where you want to display the left
               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
