Summary:

A window cannot be resized using the "resize" function in a macro. in

the Programmer's WorkBench (PWB). After PWB performs the resize

function, it waits for the you to respond with the UP ARROW or DOWN

ARROW key. Functions that are placed in the macro after the resize

function are ignored. If "record on" is selected and you try to record

the resizing of a window, the macro will stop recording until the

ENTER key on the numeric keypad is pressed.

More Information:

The following is an example:

resizeit:= cancel arg arg nextmsg window resize up up up NumEnter

The above example stops at the resize function and waits for you to

resize the window. The remaining functions are ignored.

To make a window a specified size, move the cursor to a location on

the screen and then open the window with the "window" function.

The following is an example of a macro that opens the "<compile>"

window with a specified size:

compile_size:= up up up up up up up up up up

resize_it:=cancel meta down compile_size arg window window arg \

"<compile>" setfile window

resize_it:ALT+U

Note: The size of the compile window can be adjusted by changing the

number of ups on the compile_size line.
