The Windows menu of the MacProlog32 programming environment provides facilities
for the user to handle program windows.
The Create command is used to create a new window of type display or graphics.
A dialog appears asking you to enter the name of the window which must be
different from the name of any other current window. A display window is used only
for storage, its contents are not compiled or saved; graphic windows are more advanced
and will not be covered here. Windows of the above type can be removed permanently
by the Kill command.
The Hide option makes the front window invisible and has the same effect as
clicking the window's close box on the left hand corner of the title bar. Hide all
makes all the windows invisible while Show all brings them all back again.
The Window details and Font... command allow you to view and change
the various characteristics of the front window.
The Desktop menu gives access to all the windows in the environment. The four
types of windows specified in this menu Program, Display, Control and Graphic
provide scrolling sub-menus that contain the list of windows corresponding to each
type; a black diamond on the left of the window name indicates that the window is open
(visible). Selecting a name from any such list brings the corresponding window to the
front.
