DM COMMANDS

7.0;tn (to_next_window) *DM*, revision 7.0, 83/08/17
TN (TO_NEXT_WINDOW) -- Move cursor to next window.
usage:  tn


FORMAT

  TN


  TN  moves  the  cursor to the next fully unobscured window on the screen.  Any
  window that is partially covered by another is not considered in  the  search.
  The  DM scans the screen from top to bottom to find the next window, selecting
  the one whose upper left corner is the  "highest"  (i.e.,  has  the  lowest  Y
  coordinate  value),  then proceeding downward across the screen.  If there are
  panes within a window, the cursor is positioned in the next lower  pane  until
  the  pane  choices  have  been  exhausted,  before  moving to the next "lower"
  window.  Once the next window is located, the DM places the cursor at its last
  previous position within that window.

  By default, the <NEXT WNDW> key (LB) invokes this command.
