    Sets specified characteristics of the screen.

    Format

      SET SCREEN   keyword-list

1  –  Parameter

 keyword-list
    Indicates the screen characteristics to be set. The screen
    keywords are as follows:

 BALANCE_WINDOWS (D)
    Specifies how LSE manages window length. If you specify BALANCE_
    WINDOWS, LSE adjusts all the window lengths on the screen to
    be, as nearly as possible, of equal lengths. This is the default
    value. If you specify NOBALANCE_WINDOWS, LSE splits the current
    window in half when it needs a new window, leaving all the other
    window lengths unchanged.

 HEIGHT=n
    Specifies the number of lines on the screen. The height, n, must
    be an integer in the range 11 through 62.

 MAXIMUM_WINDOW_NUMBER=n
    Specifies the maximum number of windows LSE creates when it
    displays information in a window as a result of issuing one of
    the following commands:

       FIND
       GOTO DECLARATION
       GOTO SOURCE
       INSPECT
       REVIEW

    LSE uses the MAXIMUM_WINDOW_NUMBER and MINIMUM_WINDOW_LENGTH
    settings to determine whether to add a window to the screen or
    reuse an existing window. LSE checks both settings and creates a
    new window only if both conditions are met.

    The default value for MAXIMUM_WINDOW_NUMBER is 3. Specifying a
    value of 2 produces the two-window behavior previously associated
    with the commands listed under this keyword.

 MINIMUM_WINDOW_LENGTH=n
    Specifies a lower bound on the windows LSE creates. When you need
    to map a buffer to a window, LSE creates a new window as long as
    the window is not shorter than n.

    LSE uses the MINIMUM_WINDOW_LENGTH and MAXIMUM_WINDOW_NUMBER
    settings to determine whether to add a window to the screen or
    reuse an existing window. LSE checks both settings and creates a
    new window only if both conditions are met.

 WIDTH=n
    Specifies the number of characters on each input or output line.
    The width, n, must be an integer in the range 1 through 252.

    If you specify a width greater than 80, then LSE sets the terminal
    to 132-character mode. The initial setting is 80 characters.

 WINDOW=n
    Specifies the number of windows to display on the screen.

    If you change the number of windows from one to two, LSE displays
    the current buffer in both windows. If you change the number of
    windows from two to one, LSE displays the current buffer in the
    single window. The initial setting is one window.
