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.
ARGUMENTS
