2 – Description
The SET WINDOW command allows you to assign a name to a screen
window. A screen window is a region on the terminal screen
through which you can view a display. You must specify the
window in terms of a starting line number on the screen and a
line count. Once defined, a window name can be used in subsequent
DISPLAY and SET DISPLAY commands.
PCA provides a substantial number of predefined window names. You
can list all defined window names using the SHOW WINDOW command.

The first command defines a window named TINY. The top border
line for the window is at line 1 of the terminal screen. The
window can display two additional lines of text. The second
command displays the OUT screen display through window TINY.
