Interacting With Windows

Return.
To reassign an assigned window, enter OPEN task on the sill of the assigned window
and press Shift-Return.
Menu Windows
A window with a heavy- or double-line frame is a menu window. Each line of text in a
menu window, even if it consists of a single character, represents a user-defined
function that you can invoke by moving the cursor to the corresponding line and
pressing Return.
A line of text in a menu cache is said to be a menu production if that line contains a
production symbol (<==). In a menu production, the text to the right of the production
symbol is interpreted as SeeView language statements. The text to the left of the
production symbol is the text that actually appears in the menu window.
Menu windows can also have a default production associated with them. When a menu
has a default production defined for it, this production is invoked if a line of text in the
menu does not contain a production symbol.
Windows and Window Sills
You can interact directly with any window that has a sill at its base. These windows do
not have a line across the bottom. In Figure 3-2, SeeView Window With Sill, the
window labeled PUP has a sill. The window sill is located on the line marked X.
To interact with a window, enter commands on the sill. Move the cursor to the sill,
typing one or more commands, and press Return. When you press Return, the text
from the beginning of the line up to the cursor position is entered.
