7.0;as (arrow_scale) *DM*, revision 7.0, 83/08/08
AS (ARROW_SCALE) -- Set scale factors for arrow keys.
usage:  as [x[y]]


FORMAT

  AS [x[y]]


  The  AS  command  sets  scale factors for the arrow keys.  The scale factor is
  useful for changing the apparent sensitivity of the arrow keys and for  lining
  up the edges of windows after moving them.


ARGUMENTS

  If  no  arguments  are  specified, then the default scale factors are used, as
  described below.

  x
  (optional)         Specify horizontal scale factor in raster units  (integer).
                     This  value  must  be in the range 0-1023.  (Note, however,
                     that portrait displays may only display up  to  800  raster
                     units  in  this  dimension.)    There are approximately 100
                     raster units per inch.  The default horizontal movement  is
                     the  width  of  the character on which the cursor rests; if
                     the cursor is not on a character, the DM uses the width  of
                     a space in the last window.  Specifying 0 for 'x' indicates
                     that the default should be used.

                     Default if omitted:  0

  y
  (optional)          Specify  vertical  scale factor in raster units (integer).
                     This value must be in the range 0-1023.    (Note,  however,
                     that  landscape  displays may only display up to 800 raster
                     units in this dimension.)  The default vertical movement is
                     the height of a line in the last window.  Specifying 0  for
                     'y' indicates that the default should be used.

                     Default if omitted:  leave current y value unchanged
