PS TEXT EDIT Reference Manual

OPENWINDOW
TEDIT Commands
3–128 058059 Tandem Computers Incorporated
If you enter OPENWINDOW on the command line with a size but no
options, you must place an extra comma between the window (1, 2, *, or **)
specified and the size. For example:
Command: OPENWINDOW 2, filename, ,10
Do not put commas between the OPENWINDOW command name and the
window specified, an asterisk, or between open options.
What Happens
The new window appears at the bottom of the screen and the previous
window decreases in height.
Each window has its own status line beginning with 1) or 2) for the window
number.
The cursor moves into the new window.
Tips
This command refers to the screen window, not the text item
(WINDOW). See Section 2 for a description of a window.
Open a second window to edit or view two parts of the same file or two
different files.
Use two windows to copy text from one file to another or from one part
of a file to another (with MOVE, COPY, or RETRIEVE).
You can set the OPENWINDOW options in the profile with the
RECONFIGURE OPTIONS command. If you don’t provide options
with the command, TEDIT uses the current profile settings with the
command; if you specify none, the file is opened with READ and
WRITE access.
If you give options with the command, they are in effect for the next
windows that you open, until you change them.
