10.0;wg (window_grow) *DM*, revision 1.0, 87/12/23
wg (window_grow)  grow or shrink a window
usage:  [region wg]



DESCRIPTION
     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 new
     location for the edge or corner and issue the wg command.

     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 the old and new locations of edge or corner.  You
                    can do so in a variety of formats.  See the help window
                    for more information on format choices.

                    You must use this argument if you do not use the cursor
                    placement and <MARK> operation described above.

                    Default if omitted:  use marked region

NOTE
     A companion grow command, wge, provides visible feedback during a grow
     operation.
