WINDOWS

DM COMMANDS

7.0;wm (window_move) *DM*, revision 7.0, 83/08/18
WM (WINDOW_MOVE) -- Move a window across the screen.
usage:  [region]wm


FORMAT

  [region]WM


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

  The WM command moves a window across the screen.   The  DM  moves  the  window
  whose nearest unobscured edge or corner is the first point of the region.  The
  new location of this edge or corner is the second point of the region.  So, to
  move  a  window, place the cursor at one corner of the window you want to move
  and issue the DR command (or press <MARK>).  Next, place  the  cursor  at  the
  desired new position of the corner.  Finally, issue the WM command.

  By  default,  CTRL/Winvokes  the  WM  command  on low-profile keyboards.  This
  function is not available by default on 880 keyboards.

  If you do not define a region, the WM command causes the nearest window corner
  to be moved to the current cursor position.  This can cause unexpected results
  if there are multiple windows on the screen, however, since your idea  of  the
  "nearest"  window  may not be the same as the DM's.  In that case, it is safer
  to <MARK> the window you want to move.
