Window Management in the Screen Interface

Window management in the screen interface

Moving, resizing and scrolling of windows is based on the conventions used in the Motif Window Manager.

To move a window:	Click down on its title bar, then drag the window to where you want it to be. A "rubber-band" outline moves to show the window's current position.
To resize a window:	Either
	Click on a border bar to move just that side, or on a corner bar to move both sides attached to that corner. Again, a rubber-band outline shows you the new shape.
	or
	Use the MAXIMISE button in the top right hand corner of the window to increase the size of the window to the largest possible size.

To scroll a window:	If a window has got too small for its contents then horizontal and/or vertical scrollbars will appear. Click on a scrollbar slider and move it to the desired position, the window contents will scroll as you do so. Alternatively click on the arrows at either end of the scrollbar for timed motion in that direction.
To minimise a window:	Click on the button in the top right hand corner of the window. When a window has been iconised it will appear in the ICON area at the bottom of the screen.
To restore a window:	Iconised windows may be restored by clicking on the icon in the ICON area.
