Msg: Re: CLRW

Hey Edward . . . Wow, thanks for this response. I'm going to wait on the BC route until I get the right syntax. Right now the CLRW does the job; yes, it's a U2 (not to be confused with the rock band) frame that clears all saved files and closes their windows, and reverts to window no 1 in full screen mode. Very handy. Tip of the hat to Carl.

I would like to make the window XY appears in wider while keeping the depth, but I haven't figured out how to do it yet.

It's a very, very fast DOS system. XyWrite runs in blinks.

Fred,

All that shouldn’t be necessary.

First, I followed Carl’s instructions to add this to startup.int, so the editor window fills the DOSBox-X screen when XyWrite starts up:

BC window 1,0,0,80,40

At least I think that’s the line that does the job. Carl will know far better than I do; I’m simply repeating what I probably don’t understand.

Then you can follow the instructions on my page to add these lines to autoexec.bat:

cd xy4
editor

and that will cause XyWrite to open automatically, filling the window.

(Minor detail I don’t have U2 installed; is that the reason that CLRW is an “unrecognized command” on my system?)
