10.0;tn (to_next_window) *DM*, revision 1.0, 87/12/23
tn (to_next_window)  move cursor to next window
usage:  tn



DESCRIPTION
     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" (that
     is, has the lowest y coordinate value), then proceeding downward across
     the screen.  If there are panes within a window, the DM positions the
     cursor in the next lower pane until the pane choices are 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.
