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documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

     The Mark function moves the cursor to a mark or specific location,
     defines marks, and deletes marks.
 
     NOTE: You cannot set a mark at specific text in a PWB window
           such as Help; PWB marks only the window position.
 
     If you want to save marks between sessions, assign a filename to
     the Markfile switch or use the Set Mark File command on the Search
     menu.
     See: Markfile, ◄Search menu, Set Mark File►
