Description

The SET COMMANDWINDOW command is used to enable or disable the use of command windows. A window is an area of the screen designated for output and input. There is no limit to the number of windows you may define. Windows are defined with the DEFINE WINDOW command, and are activated with the ACTIVATE WINDOW command. A command window is a window that automatically activates itself and displays the interactive command prompt. When active, command windows allow the input of interactive commands. When SET COMMANDWINDOW is ON, a pre-defined command window automatically activates when control returns to the interactive command prompt. When SET COMMANDWINDOW is OFF, the command window does display, and the interactive prompt appears in full screen mode rather than in a window.
