Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

     Edit menu, Box Mode command («_pwbboxmode»)
 
     Macro  ◄_pwbboxmode►
 
     Choose Box Mode to change the selection mode to box mode.
 
     A box selection is a rectangular area (column) of text, as
     follows:
 
          abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz     ◄Stream►
          abcdef█████████████tuvwxyz     ◄Box►
          abcdef█████████████tuvwxyz     ◄Line►
          abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
 
     TIP: To switch among the three selection modes while selecting
          text with the mouse, click the right button while you hold
          down the left button.
 
     A bullet appears next to the Edit menu command for the current
     selection mode.
