Description
- Sets the width (number of characters) and height (number of lines) of the window for non-GUI programs.
Syntax
- mainwin Columns Rows
- mainwin Columns
Hints
- The MAINWIN command modifies the text window size for all non-GUI programs. The values are stored in the editors INI file, lines 13 and 14, and can also be modified from the "Setup" > "Preferences" menu. The default values for the text window are 80 columns and 24 rows.
- Because MAINWIN affects other BASIC programs, avoid changing the values without a good reason.
- MAINWIN will have an effect even if the NOMAINWIN command is issued and no text window is displayed at all.
- The MAINWIN command only accepts numeric literals.
- If both the columns and rows count is 0, the main window is opened maximized.
- If the code contains several MAINWIN commands, only the last one will have an effect.
Example
' make the mainwin 80 columns wide and 32 rows high MAINWIN 80 32 print "Hello, World." end
