Description

The HSCROLL() function designates an area of the screen to scroll left, scroll right, or blank out. This function can be used to emulate windows. <expN1>, <expN2>, <expN3> and <expN4> are the beginning row, beginning column, ending row, and ending column screen coordinates of the area. <expN5> is the number of columns to scroll. A value greater than zero scrolls right. A value less than zero scrolls to the left. A value of zero clears the specified scroll area.

Example

// Create window with text
@05,35,09,46
@06,36 say "ABCDEFGHIJ"
@07,36 say"abcdefghij"
@08,36 say "0123456789"
// Scroll slowly one column at a time until
// the window is clear.
for i = 1 to 10
    hscroll(6,36,8,45,1)
    sleep 1
