WINDOW
WINDOW statements that do not specifically reference a taskid, thus promoting
generalized programming techniques that do not depend on specific taskids.
This specification also allows an external program to dynamically generate
SeeView menu productions and associated window statements in its output text so
that this text can be used as a self-referential menu, without the need to know the
taskid of this menu. For example, a program might generate a line of output in a
menu to contain:
HELP <== WINDOW [],"HELP ALL" NOFRAME
When the user selects this menu line, the program associated with the menu
receives the command HELP ALL and displays the results of that command in the
same window.
In a similar manner, other text output by a program can have productions
associated with the objects that it displays. For example:
Cpu 0 <== WINDOW [],"CPU 0,DETAIL" NOFRAME
task-exp
specifies an integer expression indicating the taskid number of the task whose data
is to be displayed in the window.
string-exp
causes the window to contain the results of the TASK command represented by
the string expression, string-exp.
BLANKSILL
specifies that sill input is invisible. To toggle BLANKSILL on and off directly from a
window, enter tilde (~) and press Return.
CACHE
specifies that the window is displayed with previously cached messages rather
than waiting for real-time task interprocess communication.
FIRSTPAGE
displays the first page of messages in cache (default).
LASTPAGE
displays the last page of messages in cache.
LASTLINE | LL
displays the last line of text in cache.
