When you first choose some applications, the window does not fill the whole screen. However, if the window contains a Maximize/Restore arrow in the upper-right corner, you can increase the size of the window.The Active In applications that have more than one window, theWindow active window is indicated by a highlighted title bar that contains a close box and a Maximize/Restore (Zoom) arrow (if it can be resized). All other windows have title bars that are dimmed and do not have close boxes or Maximize/Restore arrows. You can have more than one window open at once, but you can work in only one window at a time--the active window. Press TAB or SHIFT-TAB to activate windows or click in the window you want to activate.Scrolling Some windows also have scroll bars along the rightWindows and/or bottom edge, with a small box indicating the position of the window in relation to the entire file. Drag this box with the mouse to scroll the window, or click the location in the bar that represents where you want to scroll. Click the arrow keys above and below the bar to scroll the window one line at a time. If you don't have a mouse, you can use PGUP and PGDN or the UP and DOWN arrow keys to scroll a window.NOTE: If you are using a CGA, EGA, or monochrome display, the characters used for the close box, Maximize/Restore arrow and scroll bar look different from those shown in the documentation. The expanded character set used for these objects appears only on VGA monitors. However, they work the same.EBasic SkillsUsing HelpPSPTUsing Command-Line OptionsPL  PHb1CA3IYi )IyA qEPI 00 [PZYou can use these command-line parameters to control the way programsappear on the screen. Just type them after the program name, either inyour AUTOEXEC.BAT file, another batch file, or at the DOS prompt, alongwith any other parameters you are using. Be sure to separate multipleparameters with a space. For example: CPBACKUP /BW /LEYou can see additional command-line parameters used by a program bytyping /? after the program name at the DOS prompt.Video Parameters:/25 Sets the screen display to 25 lines, the normal setting. This is the only valid screen size for CPBACKUP./28 Sets the screen display to 28 lines./43 Sets the screen display to 43 lines. This parameter is for EGA adapters, but can be used on some VGA adapters that emulate the EGA display./50 Sets the screen display to 50 lines. This parameter is for VGA adapters only./60 Sets the screen display to 60 lines. This parameter is for Video 7 adapters only./BF Uses the system's BIOS to manipulate fonts, instead of writing directly to the screen or other port. Try using this parameter if the characters displayed on your screen do not look like they should./BT Allows a graphic mouse in Windows and graphic fonts with DESQview or UltraVision. Normally, graphic fonts are automatically turned off with these programs../BW Starts the program in black-and-white mode. This results in a better screen display when using a color card with a non- color monitor./FF Disables screen "snow" suppression on CGA monitors. Normally, video "snow" is suppressed on CGA monitors to sharpen your video display. This may slow scrolling on some monitors. If you have a CGA monitor and don't mind minor flickering on your screen, use the /FF parameter to speed the display./IN Overrides the default selection for monitor color type. If you have a monochrome monitor, using this parameter changes the monitor type to Color. If you have a color monitor, this parameter is ignored./LCD Used on computers with LCD displays (usually laptops) to set the colors./MONO Selects the default monochrome color set. This parameter has an effect similar to /BW. If you have an IBM monochrome monitor, and using /BW does not improve your screen display, try /MONO./NF Disables the use of alternate fonts.Mouse Parameters:/LE Exchanges the left and right mouse button functions for left- handed mouse users./NGM Disables the graphics mouse character. When this option is selected, the mouse will be a solid box instead of an arrow. You might want to use this parameter if your mouse is running too slowly and you want to speed it up./IM Disables the mouse, but does not affect keyboard functions. This parameter does not affect the mouse in your underlying program. Use /IM if you have an old mouse driver or have problems with a mouse-supported application after hotkeying out of a memory-resident program. NOTE: If you have problems with the mouse after entering a program, it is due most likely to an old driver. You can use the /IM parameter, but we recommend that you ask your mouse manufacturer for an upgrade./PS2 Provides optimal mouse performance and corrects problems that can occur with your mouse when you are using a PS/2. You can also use this parameter if your mouse does not work after you have been using Windows 3.0.EBasic SkillsUsing Help
