Description

The RESTORE WINDOW command restores windows to memory from a file that was created with the SAVE WINDOW command. A window is an area of the screen designated for output and input. There is no limit to the number of defined windows. Windows are created with the DEFINE WINDOW command and activated with the ACTIVATE WINDOW command. The SAVE WINDOW command saves windows to a file with a '.win' extension.

You may restore a single window, a group of windows, or all the windows in the window file. The <window-name> is the name of the window as specified in the DEFINE WINDOW command. To restore a group of windows, use the <window-name list>, which is a list of window names each separated by a comma. To restore all currently defined windows, use the ALL keyword. Windows are restored with the same status they had when last stored with the SAVE WINDOW command. Windows being restored will overwrite any current window with the same name.
