DM COMMANDS

7.0;wg (window_grow) *DM*, revision 7.0, 83/08/18
WG (WINDOW_GROW) -- Grow or shrink a window.
usage:  [region]wg


FORMAT

  [region]WG


  NOTE: There  is  a  companion  grow command WGE that provides visible feedback
        during a grow operation.  Type HELP WGE for information on that command.

  The WG command changes the size of a window  by  moving  one  edge  or  corner
  across the screen while leaving the other edges and/or corners where they are.
  To  grow or shrink a window, first mark the edge or corner you want to move by
  positioning the cursor at that edge or  corner  and  issuing  the  DR  command
  string  or  pressing <MARK>.  Then move the cursor to the edge or corner's new
  location and issue the WG command.  (By default, CTRL/G invokes the WG command
  on low-profile keyboards.  This function is not available by  default  on  880
  keyboards.)    The marked edge or corner moves to the new cursor position, and
  the window shrinks or grows accordingly.  If you want to move  only  an  edge,
  move  the cursor only in the direction perpendicular to that edge.  Moving the
  cursor in two dimensions causes a corner to move.


ARGUMENTS

  region
  (optional)         Specify old and new locations of edge or corner.    May  be
                     specified  in a variety of formats:  see HELP WINDOW.  This
                     argument is REQUIRED if you do not use the cursor placement
                     and <MARK> operation described above.

                     Default if omitted:  use marked region
