SET BOX ON ARROW
If you include the keyword ARROW and the box extends over a
page boundary, TFORM inserts an extra line with a right-pointing
arrow at the right side to indicate that the box continues on the next
page. TFORM then closes the box with a line of “box-bottom”
characters (hyphens, by default), ends the page, and starts a new
box at the top of the next page, continuing to print the text where it
left off. If you include ARROW, one less line will fit on the page.
SET BOX OFF
SET BOX OFF causes TFORM to turn off the implicit indentation,
issue a blank line at the bottom of the box, and close the box.
SET CHANGES Option
The SET CHANGES command allows you to control the printing of
change marks in your document.
SET CHANGES ON
SET CHANGES ON causes TFORM to print change marks in the
right margin for all subsequent lines up to the corresponding SET
CHANGES OFF command.
SET CHANGES OFF
Once you activate SET CHANGES ON, TFORM continues to print
change marks in the margin until it locates this command. SET
CHANGES OFF turns off the change marks.
TFORM retains the SET CHANGES commands for compatibility
with T-TEXT. However, the CHANGES command is a better
device for marking changed text lines, since it doesn’t cause a line
break as the SET CHANGES command does. You can use the
CHANGES command to mark individual words or phrases when
joining is in effect, but the SET CHANGES commands work well
only with whole paragraphs.
Location and space requirements for change marks produced by
SET CHANGES commands are the same as for the CHANGES
command.
