PCA$HELP.HLB  —  MOVE
    PCA Command

    Moves a screen display vertically and/or horizontally across the
    screen.

    Format

      MOVE  [disp-name[,...]]

1  –  Parameters

 disp-name

    Specifies a display to be moved. You may specify any of the
    following:

    o  A predefined display: SRC, OUT, PROMPT, PLOT

    o  A display previously created with the SET DISPLAY command

    o  A pseudo-display name: %CURDISP, %CURSCROLL, %NEXTDISP,
       %NEXTOUTPUT, %NEXTPLOT, %NEXTSCROLL, %NEXTSOURCE

    If you do not specify a display, the current scrolling display,
    as established by the SELECT/SCROLL command, is chosen.

2  –  Description

    For each display specified, the MOVE command simply creates a
    window of the same dimensions elsewhere on the screen and maps
    the display to it, while maintaining the relative position of the
    text within the window.

    The MOVE command does not change the order of a display on the
    display pasteboard. Depending on the relative order of displays,
    the MOVE command may cause the display to hide or uncover another
    display or be hidden by another display, partially or totally.

    A display can be moved only up to the edge of the screen.

    You must specify at least one qualifier.
