#BASIC's WINDOW command
6 messages in this thread
I have a question about the WINDOW command in BASIC. I've been unable to get
it to accept an argument for the size and placement of the window! (i.e.,
WINDOW 2,TITLE,(5,5)-(50,50),31,1) I get an error every time I try to run a
program with a sized window. I've found, though, that it works if I leave off
the screen ID (the last parameter!) This is obviously unacceptable.
Is there a bug in BASIC, or have I had a mental block and am overlooking
something obvious?

Have you opened a screen or are you opening the window on the workbench screen.
I has been a while but I was having a similar problem with a program I was
working on. Problem is I don't remember what I did to solve the problem. If I
can find the code I will take a look at it and let you know what I did, because
I did get it to work, eventually.

Hey Greg, welcome to Amiga land! They let you out of your forum? (don't mind
my sometimes rather juvenile humor)

They let me anywhere I want, as long as they dont catch me.

Hehe… a friend received a special gift for his birthday one year. 'Twas a
small card, and imprinted thereupon were the words:
This card entitles the bearer
to a free shower
in any house he can get into
without being caught.

I had opened a screen. I don't have my code handy either (I use CIS from
another machine at this point), but if nobody comes up with anything I'll post
the relevant parts.
