10.0;wp (window_pop) *DM*, revision 1.0, 87/12/23
wp (window_pop) push or pop a window on the stack
usage: wp [entry_name [-t|-b]]
DESCRIPTION
The wp command pops a window to the top of the stack or pushes a window
to the bottom of the stack. If the cursor rests in a partially obscured
window, the wp command pops the window to the top of the pile. If the
cursor rests in a completely visible window, wp pushes the window to the
bottom of the pile. wp can also manipulate specific named windows or
window groups. See the arguments section below.
By default the POP key invokes the wp command.
ARGUMENTS
entry_name, (optional)
Specify the name of the window or group you want to push
or pop. If the name of the window or group appears as a
text string somewhere on the display, you may use the
following time-saving feature: place the cursor on the
name, then press <MARK>. Now issue the wp command. wp
uses the marked name for the entry_name argument.
Default if omitted: push or pop the window under the
cursor
OPTIONS
The following options are intended primarily for use in DM scripts, where
you may not be able to predict the presence of other windows on the
screen.
-t Force a window to the top of the window stack.
-b Force a window to the bottom of the window stack.
EXAMPLES
wp -t Pop the window containing the cursor to the top of the
window stack.
wp slide -b Push the window named 'slide' to the bottom of the
stack.
