VAXTPU UNMAP — VMS 5.2

 UNMAP

 Disassociates a window from its buffer and removes the window from the
 screen.  The unmapped window is NOT deleted from the list of available
 windows.  To make the window appear on the screen again, use MAP.  The
 screen area of the unmapped window is either erased or returned to any
 windows occluded by the unmapped window.

 If you unmap the current window, VAXTPU tries to move the cursor position
 to the window that was most recently the current window.  The window in
 which VAXTPU puts the cursor becomes the new current window and the buffer
 associated with this window becomes the new current buffer.

 Syntax

    UNMAP (window)

 Example

    UNMAP (CURRENT_WINDOW);

 Removes the current window from the screen and disassociates the buffer
 that was mapped to it.
