(Screen)

Mnemonic: (Screen=number-of-columns, number-of-rows)
Discussion: The (Screen) mnemonic sets the size of the COSW screen. Number-of-columns and number-of-rows are numeric values between 1 and 254.

If you are running Comet maximized, and the virtual screen size is larger than the physical screen size, Comet automatically reduces the font size so the entire display fits on the screen. Note: This can result in very small type (e.g., if the column and row values are set to high values).

If you are running Comet non-maximized, and the virtual screen size is larger than the physical screen size, Comet automatically inserts scroll bars (horizontal and/or vertical) on the screen.

For a demonstration of the (Screen) mnemonic, run the CPLANY program in the DMW directory (the 98.11 version).

Also see (CPL132), (CPL64), and (CPL80).

History: This mnemonic was added in the REL release 99.01.
Example: 
! set screen size to 100 columns x 50 rows

Print (Screen=100,50)
