(Screen)

Mnemonic: (Screen=number-of-columns, number-of-rows)
Discussion: The (Screen) mnemonic sets the size of the screen in Comet98. Number-of-columns and number-of-rows are numeric values between 1 and 255.

If you are running Comet98 in full-screen mode, and the virtual screen size is larger than the physical screen size, Comet98 will automatically reduce 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 Comet98 in a window, and the virtual screen size is larger than the physical screen size, Comet98 will automatically insert 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: 
  Print (0) (Screen=255,255)
