NAME
xview - xview toolkit information
SYNOPSIS
There is no xview command per se, but this manual page will
briefly describe XView features and functions.
AVAILABILITY
XView is available with the OpenWindows distribution.
DESCRIPTION
XView (X Window-System-based Visual/Integrated Environment
for Workstations) is an Open Look user-interface toolkit
which supports development of interactive, graphics-based
applications running under the X Window System. For
detailed information see the XView Programming Manual and
the XView Reference Manual.
USAGE
Compiling XView Programs
XView programs are compiled with the following command line:
cc sourcefile.c -o outputfile -lxview -lolgx -lX11
Generic XView Functions
xv_init() Establishes the connection to the server,
initializes the Notifier and the
Defaults/Resource-Manager database, loads the
Server Resource-Manager database, reads any
passed attributes, and installs a default X11
Errorhandler.
Xv_Server
xv_init(attrs)
<attribute-value list> attrs;
Note that attrs is a NULL terminated
attribute-value list.
xv_create() Creates an object.
Xv_object
xv_create(owner, package, attrs)
Xv_object owner;
Xv_pkg package;
<attribute-value list> attrs;
xv_destroy() Destroys an object.
int
xv_destroy(object)
Xv_opaque object;
xv_find() Finds an object that meets certain criteria;
or if the object doesn't exist, creates it
(default behavior which can be defeated using
XV_AUTO_CREATE, FALSE).
Xv_opaque
xv_find(owner, package, attrs)
Xv_object owner;
Xv_pkg package;
<attribute-value list> attrs;
xv_get() Gets the value of a single attribute.
Xv_opaque
xv_get(object, attrs)
Xv_object object;
<attribute-value list> attrs;
xv_set() Sets the value of one or more attributes.
Xv_opaque
xv_set(object, attrs)
Xv_object object;
<attribute-value list> attrs;
Internationalized Support
XView now has support for internationalization. This
includes locale setting, localized text handling, and
dynamic object layout. See the XView Programming Manual for
details.
Command Line Resource Arguments
XView-based applications display characteristics can be con-
trolled by supplying command line arguments to the applica-
tions at start-up. The usage is as follows:
% program -argument1 value1 -argument2 value2...
In the tables below, Argument(s) shows the short argument
followed by the long argument-either can be used. Type
describes the type of value the arguments can receive.
Resource describes the X resource name modified by the argu-
ments. Default is the default value. Description describes
what the arguments do. Example shows an example of a com-
mand using the argument.
Argument(s): -Wx, or -scale
Type: string ("small", "medium", "large",
"extra_large")
Resource: Window.Scale
Default: medium
Description: Sets the initial scale of the application
(larger or smaller). small is 10 pixels,
medium is 12 pixels, large is 14 pixels and
extra_large is 19 pixels. The font.name
resource will override the scale.
Example: cmdtool -scale extra_large
Argument(s): -Wt, -fn, or -font
Type: string
Resource: Font.Name
Default: lucidasans-12
Description: Sets the name of the font used for the appli-
cation. Does not set the font for frame
header and frame menu header. These are con-
trolled by the window manager. To find out
what fonts are available, use the xlsfonts(1)
command. If the font you specify cannot be
found, you will see an error message such as:
XView warning: Cannot load font set 'galant-
24' (Font package)
Example: cmdtool -fn fixed
Argument(s): -Ws, or -size
Type: integer integer
Resource: Window.Width and Window.Height
Default: depends on application
Description: Sets the width and height of the
application's base frame. The values are in
pixels.
Example: cmdtool -Ws 400 500
Argument(s): -Ww, or -width
Type: int (number of columns)
Resource: window.columns
Default: None
Description: Specifies the width, in columns, of the
application.
Example: cmdtool -width 40
(starts a command tool 40 columns wide)
Argument(s): -Wh, or -height
Type: int (number of columns)
Resource: window.rows
Default: None
Description: Specifies the height, in rows, of the appli-
cation.
Example: cmdtool -height 40
(starts a command tool 40 rows high)
Argument(s): -Wp, or -position
Type: integer integer
Resource: Window.X and Window.Y
Default: depends on window manager
Description: Sets the initial position of the
application's base frame in pixels. The
upper left corner of the screen is at posi-
tion (0,0), with the x-axis increasing to the
left, and the y-axis increasing downward.
These values will also be generated by the
"Save Workspace" option on the root menu into
the $HOME/.openwin-init file when using the
Open Look Window Manager.
Example: cmdtool -Wp 100 200
Argument(s): -WG, or -geometry
Type: string of the format <width>x<height>{+-
}<xoffset>{+-}<yoffset>
Resource: Window.Geometry
Default: depends on application and window manager
Description: This sets both the size and the placement of
the application's base frame. This option has
priority over the -size and -position argu-
ments. The size and placement parts of the
value are optional. You can set just the
size, just the position, or both. The size
values are measured in pixels, and the posi-
tion values use the same semantics as -
position. However, if you use the '-' in
front of an X value, it will be taken as
relative to the right hand side of the
screen, instead of the left. Likewise, if
you use the '-' with the Y value, it will be
taken relative to the bottom of the screen
instead of the top.
Examples: cmdtool -geometry 500x600
(will make the base frame 500x600 pixels,
with the position set by the window manager)
cmdtool -WG +10+20
(will make the base frame of default size
with the left hand side of the frame 10 pix-
els from the left hand side of the screen,
and the top of the frame 20 pixels from the
top of the screen)
cmdtool -WG -10+20
(will make the base frame of default size
with the right hand side of the frame 10 pix-
els from the right hand side of the screen,
and the top of the frame 20 pixels from the
top of the screen)
cmdtool -geometry 400x300-0-0
(will make the base frame 400x300 pixels with
the right hand side of the frame flush
against the right hand side of the screen,
and the bottom of the frame flush with the
bottom of the screen)
Argument(s): -WP, -icon_position
Type: integer integer
Resource: Icon.X Icon.Y
Default: depends on window manager
Description: Sets the position of the application's icon
in pixels. Uses the same semantics as -
position for base frames.
Example: cmdtool -WP 400 20
Argument(s): -Wl, -label, or -title
Type: string
Resource: Window.Header
Default: N/A
Description: Sets a default label for the base frame's
header. However, the application can
overwrite this setting and display its own
header.
Example: cmdtool -Wl "Header Text"
Argument(s): -Wi, and +Wi
Type: boolean
Resource: Window.Iconic
Default: +Wi
Description: Controls how an application will come up,
open or closed (iconified).
Examples: cmdtool +Wi (will make the cmdtool come up
open) cmdtool -Wi (will make the cmdtool come
up closed)
Argument(s): -depth
Type: integer
Resource: Window.Depth
Default: Depth of server's default visual
Description: Specifies the depth of base frame. If this
depth is not supported by the server, the
default depth will be used instead. If this
is specified in conjunction with -visual,
then the exact visual will be used.
Example: cmdtool -depth 4
Argument(s): -visual
Type: string (one of the values: StaticGray, GrayS-
cale, StaticColor, PseudoColor, TrueColor, or
DirectColor).
Resource: Window.Visual
Default: Server's default visual
Description: Specifies the visual class of the base frame.
If this visual class is not supported by the
server, the default visual class will be used
instead. If this is specified in conjunction
with -depth, then the exact visual will be
used.
Example: cmdtool -visual StaticGray
Argument(s): -Wf, or -foreground_color
Type: integer integer integer
Resource: Window.Color.Foreground
Default: 0 0 0
Description See Description in -Wb below.
Argument(s): -Wb, or -background
Type: integer integer integer
Resource: Window.Color.Background
Default: 255 255 255
Description: These options allow the user to specify the
foreground color (e.g., the color of the text
in a textsw), or the background color (e.g.,
the color that the text is painted on) of an
application. The three values should be
integers between 0 and 255. They specify the
amount of red, green and blue that is in the
color. See -fg and -bg below for informa-
tion on similar functions.
Example: cmdtool -Wf 0 0 255 -Wb
(would come up with a blue foreground, with a
gray background)
Argument(s): -fg, or -foreground
Type: string (color name, or hexadecimal color
specification)
Resource: Window.Color.Foreground
Default: black
Description: See Description in -bg below.
Argument(s): -bg, or -background
Type: string (color name, or hexadecimal color
specification)
Resource: Window.Color.Background
Default: white
Description: These options are similar to the -Wf and -Wb
options, except that they take a color argu-
ment in the form of a predefined color name
(lavender, grey, goldenrod, etc.) from
$OPENWINHOME/lib/rbg.txt, or a hexadecimal
representation. The hexadecimal representa-
tion is of the form pound sign (#) followed
by the hexadecimal representation of the red,
green and blue aspects of the color.
Examples: cmdtool -fg blue -bg gray
(comes up with a blue foreground, with a gray
background)
cmdtool -fg #d800ff -bg white
(comes up with a purple foreground, with a
white background)
Argument(s): -WI, or -icon_image
Type: string
Resource: Icon.Pixmap
Default: depends on application
Description: Sets the default filename for the icon's
image. However, the application can
overwrite this setting and display its own
icon image. The file must be in XView icon
format. The program iconedit(1) will allow
one to create an image in the icon format.
Several icons have been provided in the
directory $OPENWINHOME/include/images. By
convention, icon format files end with the
suffix .icon.
Example: cmdtool -WI /usr/include/images/stop.icon
Argument(s): -WL, or -icon_label
Type: string
Resource: Icon.Footer
Default: depends on application
Description: Sets a default label for the base frame's
icon. However, the application can overwrite
this setting and display its own icon label.
Example: cmdtool -WL "Icon Label"
Argument(s): -WT, or -icon_font
Type: string
Resource: Icon.Font.Name
Default: depends
Description: Sets the name of the font used for the
application's icon.
Example: cmdtool -WT '*century schoolbook*'
Argument(s): -Wd, or -default
Type: string string
Resource: given by the first string
Default: none
Description: This option allows the user to set resources
that don't have command line equivalents.
The format is -default resource-name value .
The XView resources without specific command
line arguments are discussed in the following
section.
Example: cmdtool -default
OpenWindows.ScrollbarPlacement left
Argument(s): -xrm
Type: string
Resource: given in the string
Default: none
Description: This option allows the user to set resources
that don't have command line equivalents.
This is similar to the -default option, but
it takes only one argument, a string in the
form of resource-name:value.
Example: cmdtool -xrm
OpenWindows.ScrollbarPlacement:right
Argument(s): -WH, or -help
Type: none
Resource: none
Default: none
Description: Prints a description of the valid xview com-
mand line arguments for the application.
Argument(s): -sync or -synchronous, and +sync or +synchro-
nous
Type: boolean
Resource: Window.Synchronous
Default: +synchronous
Description: These options allow you to make the connec-
tion that the application has with the X11
server either synchronous (-sync) or asyn-
chronous (+sync).
Argument(s): -Wr, or -display
Type: string (host:display{.screen})
Resource: Server.Name
Default: taken from the DISPLAY environment variable
Description: Sets the name of the X11 server on which to
connect. host is the name or address of the
machine on whose server you have permission
to display. display is a number correspond-
ing to the server on which to display for
that machine, and screen corresponds to which
screen for the server. See reference manual
page on xhost(1) for more details on adding
to permissions list.
Examples: cmdtool -display foobar:0
(will bring up a cmdtool on the default
screen of the display #0 of host foobar)
cmdtool -display foobar:0.1
(will bring up a cmdtool on screen #1 of
display #0 of host foobar)
Argument(s): -Wdxio, or -disable_xio_error_handler
Type: boolean
Resource: none
Default: enable xio handler-this option disables it
Description: This option is useful for debugging an appli-
cation. Whenever there is a fatal XIO error,
the server will print an error message before
exiting. XView installs a error handler to
keep those messages from appearing. If you
would like to see these messages, use this
option.
Argument(s) -rv (or -reverse), and +rv (or +reverse)
Type: boolean
Resource: Window.ReverseVideo
Default: False
Description: These options control whether the foreground
and background colors of the application will
be reversed. If True, the foreground and
background colors will be swapped. The -rv
flag will set this to True, while the +rv
will set it to False. This is really only
useful on monochrome displays.
Argument(s): -name
Type: string
Resource: None
Default: argv[0]
Description: Specifies the instance name of the applica-
tion. This name is used to construct the
resource name used to perform lookups in the
X11 Resource Manager to look for the values
of customizable attributes.
Internationalized Command Line Resource Arguments
The following command line arguments are relevant to inter-
nationalization. Locale refers to the language and cultural
conventions used in a program. Locale setting is the method
by which the language and cultural environment of a system
is set. Locale setting affects the display and manipulation
of language-dependent features.
The internationalization features that XView now supports
include locale setting. One of the ways locale can be set is
with command line options. See the XView Programming Manual
for details on other methods.
Argument(s): -lc_basiclocale
Type: string
Resource: basicLocale
Default: "C"
Description: Specifies the basic locale category, which
sets the country of the user interface.
Argument(s): -lc_displaylang
Type: string
Resource: displayLang
Default: "C"
Description: Specifies the display language locale
category, sets the language in which labels,
messages, menu items, and help text are
displayed.
Argument(s): -lc_inputlang
Type: string
Resource: inputLang
Default: "C"
Description: Specifies the input language locale category,
sets the language used for keyboard input.
Argument(s): -lc_numeric
Type: string
Resource: numeric
Default: "C"
Description: Specifies the numeric locale category, which
defines the language used to format numeric
quantities.
Argument(s): -lc_timeformat
Type: string
Resource: timeFormat
Default: "C"
Description: Specifies the time format locale category,
which defines the language used to format
time and date.
Command Line Options/X Resources for Debugging
The following switches/resources can be used during develop-
ment to avoid the locking up of screens or other effects of
X grabs that are done by XView.
It should be noted that these options/resources should only
be used by developers and are not for normal usage. The X
grabs are done for a specific reason, and are not meant to
be customizable. Without the X grabs, certain features in
XView (those that depend on X grabs) might not function
properly.
Argument(s): -Wfsdb, or -fullscreendebug
Type: boolean
Resource: Fullscreen.Debug
Default: FALSE
Description: Enables/disables fullscreen debugging mode
during which X grabs (XGrabServer(), XGrab-
Keyboard(), XGrabPointer()) are not done.
When using the fullscreen pkg, the X11 server
will be grabbed which prevents other windows
on the server from responding until the grab
has been released by the one window which
initiated the grab.
Argument(s): -Wfsdbs, or -fullscreendebugserver
Type: boolean
Resource: Fullscreen.Debugserver
Default: FALSE
Description: Enables/disables server grabbing (XGrab-
Server()) that is done via the fullscreen
pkg.
Argument(s): -Wfsdbk, or -fullscreendebugkbd
Type: boolean
Resource: Fullscreen.Debugkbd
Default: FALSE
Description: Enables/disables keyboard grabbing (XGrabKey-
board()) that is done via the fullscreen pkg.
Argument(s): -Wfsdbp, or -fullscreendebugptr
Type: boolean
Resource: Fullscreen.Debugptr
Default: FALSE
Description: Enables/disables pointer grabbing (XGrab-
Pointer()) that is done via the fullscreen
pkg.
Argument(s): -Wdpgs, or -disable_pass_grab_select
Type: boolean
Resource: Window.PassiveGrab.Select
Default: TRUE
Description: Disables the passive grab that is done on the
SELECT button. XView does a passive grab on
the SELECT button to avoid input focus race
conditions. When this passive grab is dis-
abled, input focus race conditions may be
seen.
Example: % cmdtool -disable_pass_grab_select
This executes a cmdtool that does not perform
any passive grabs on the SELECT button. To
do the same thing using X resources, add the
following entry to the X resource database:
Window.PassiveGrab.Select:False
.Xdefaults File
The .Xdefaults file is used to store and retrieve resource
settings. We recommend, however, that you use the command
line arguments described above in order to change display
characteristics. Changing the resources in the .Xdefaults
file will modify the behaviour of the user's session.
Novice users should not casually hand modify these settings.
Before attempting edits to this file please read the
appropriate sections of the Xlib Programming Manual on the
file format and the specific properties you intend to
change.
Note that resources documented below do not have command
line arguments. It is still possible, however, to change
them without altering the .Xdefaults file. Refer to the
command line arguments -xrm and -defaults for instructions
on how to to this. Additional resources that have command
line arguments are documented in the previous section. For
mouseless resources refer to the XView Programming Manual.
The resources are documented in the following format:
Resource: Resource Name (If the resource can be modi-
fied by the OpenWindows Property Sheet, the
word Props will be present.)
Values: Possible Values, and/or Format of Values to
be Assigned to Resource (Default Value)
Description Description of Resource.
Resource: window.synchronous, +sync -sync
Values: True, False (False)
Description Useful when debugging or tracking down a
problem since the error codes emitted from
Xlib will correspond to the immediate request
made. Running in a synchronous mode will
cause the application to run significantly
slower.
Resource: mouse.modifier.button2
Values: Shift, Ctrl, any valid modifier keysym
(Shift)
Description When using a mouse with less than three but-
tons, this resource gets an equivalent map-
ping for the second button which is the
ADJUST button on a three button mouse. For
more information on keysyms, see the xmod-
map(1) reference manual page, Xlib documenta-
tion, and the include file
$OPENWINHOME/include/X11/Xkeymap.h.
Resource: mouse.modifier.button3
Values: Shift, Ctrl, any valid modifier keysym (Ctrl)
Description When using a mouse with less than three but-
tons, this resource gets an equivalent map-
ping for the third button which is the MENU
button on a three button mouse. For more
information on keysyms, see the xmodmap
reference manual page, Xlib documentation,
and the include file
$OPENWINHOME/include/X11/Xkeymap.h.
Resource: OpenWindows.beep (Props)
Values: never, notices, always (always)
Description When the value is notices, the audible bell
will ring only when a notice pops up. When
the value is never, the audible bell will
never ring. When the value is always, the
audible bell will always ring when the bell
function is called by a program.
Resource: alarm.visible
Values: True, False (True)
Description When ringing the bell in an XView program,
flash the window as well to alert the user.
OpenWindows.windowColor (Props)
Values: any valid X11 color specification (#cccccc-
80% grey)
Description Specify the base color for control areas for
3-D look. Takes hexadecimal representation.
Three other colors used for shading and
highlighting are calculated based upon the
value of the specified control color. The
actual calculated values are done by the OLGX
library to provide a consistent color calcu-
lation between XView and OLWM. The desktop
properties program allows a full range of
customization and previews what the chosen
3-D look will look like. Does not apply to
monochrome displays.
Resource: OpenWindows.workspaceColor (Props)
Values: any valid X11 color specification (#cccccc-
80% grey)
Description Specifies the color for the root window and
the background color for icons that blend
into the desktop.
Resource: xview.icccmcompliant
Values: True, False (True)
Description When False, tells XView to set window manager
hints in a way that was used before the ICCCM
was adopted. Useful for window managers that
were released before X11R4. Not needed with
the Open Look Window Manager provided with
Open Windows.
Resource: OpenWindows.3DLook.Color
Values: True, False (True on all but monochrome
screens)
Description When False, do not use the 3-D look on a
color or greyscale screen.
Resource: OpenWindows.dragRightDistance (Props)
Values: N (100)
Description Used by menus to determine when a pullright
submenu would display when dragging over the
menu item near a submenu. N is an integer
greater than 0. A reasonable value might
start at 20 and go to 200 or so. May need to
try different values to see what feels best
to each person.
Resource: Selection.Timeout
Values: N (3)
Description: Selection timeout value. N indicates the
number of seconds that a requestor or a
selection owner waits for a response.
Resource: OpenWindows.GotoMenu.RecentCount
Values: integer between 0 and 15 (8)
Description: Specifies the number of recently visited
directories shown in the Go To Menu of a File
Chooser.
Resource: OpenWindows.GotoMenu.UserDirs
Values: string-list (NULL)
Description: new-line (0 separated list of full-path names
to directories that is added to the top of
the Go To Menu of a File Chooser.
Resource: OpenWindows.KeyboardCommand.*
Description: These resources determine mouseless semantic
action and its corresponding key binding.
Refer to the XView Reference Manual for a
complete listing and explanation of the
OpenWindows.KeyboardCommand.* resources.
Refer to the XView Programming Manual for
information on the mouseless model.
Resource: OpenWindows.KeyboardCommands
Values: SunView1, Basic, or Full
Description: Controls the level of mouseless operation.
All of the OpenWindows.KeyboardCommand
resource mappings may be modified by users,
or by specifying one the the three values for
OpenWindows.KeyboardCommands. For detailed
information see the XView Programming Manual
Resource: OpenWindows.MenuAccelerators
Values: True or False (True)
Description: Specifies whether or not to activate all key-
board menu acceleration defined by
applications. Menu accelerators are keys-
trokes that can be used to invoke menu com-
mands directly. They can be seen on the right
side of frequently used menu items as a set
of keyboard qualifiers (with a graphical dia-
mond mark representing the meta key) and an
accelerator key.
Resource: OpenWindows.MouseChordMenu
Values: True, False (False)
Description: Turns on the mouse chording mechanism. Mouse
chording was implemented to allow XView to
work with two-button mice. Pressing the
SELECT and the ADJUST buttons at the same
time will act as MENU button.
Resource: OpenWindows.MouseChordTimeout
Values: N (100)
Description: Mouse chording time-out value. N is in
micro-seconds.
Resource: OpenWindows.SelectDisplaysMenu (Props)
Values: True, False (False)
Description When True, the SELECT button (usually left
mouse) will display the menu as well as the
MENU button (usually right mouse).
Resource: OpenWindows.popupJumpCursor (Props)
Values: True, False (False)
Description When False, do not warp the mouse to the
notice when it appears.
Resource: notice.beepCount
Values: N (1)
Description Where N is an integer to specify how many
times to ring the bell when a notice appears.
Resource: OpenWindows.scrollbarPlacement (Props)
Values: Left, Right (Right)
Description When set to Left, put all scrollbars on the
lefthand side of the window or object.
Resource: OpenWindows.multiClickTimeout (Props)
Values: N (4)
Description Where N is an integer between 2 and 10,
inclusive. Set the number of tenths of a
second between clicks for a multi-click. A
click is button-down, button-up pair.
Resource: text.delimiterChars
Values: string (' \011!\"#$%&\'()*+,-
./:;<=>?@[\\]^_`{|}~')
Description This resource allows the user to select the
delimiter characters that are used when doing
word level selections in the XView package.
It was added because of the needs of the
international marketplace, and it allows the
user to define the local delimiters for the
character set that is being used with the
current keyboard and Sun workstation.
Note that the octal characters can be scram-
bled by Xrm during a rewrite of the value of
text.delimiter.Chars. Xrm interprets the
text.delimiterChar string when it is loaded.
Specifically it will decode the backslashed
portions of the string and convert them to
octal representations. When this is passed
to the client application, the logic will
function correctly. However, this mis-
behavior of Xrm causes the string to be
stored incorrectly if the user saves the
.Xdefaults file using the Xrm content of the
string. The specific problem(s) that occur
are the stripping of the backslash characters
and the expansion of the tab character
(\011).
To correct this problem, one can put the
text.delimiterChar entry into an .Xdefaults
file that will not be overwritten when saving
the workspace properties (for example, a sys-
tem wide defaults file). Or a copy of the
text.delimiterChar entry can be inserted
after .Xdefaults file saves.
Resource: scrollbar.jumpCursor (Props)
Values: True, False (True)
Description When False, the scrollbar will not move the
mouse pointer when scrolling.
Resource: scrollbar.repeatDelay
Values: N (100)
Description Where N is some integer greater than 2.
Specifies the time in milliseconds when a
click becomes a repeated action.
Resource: scrollbar.pageInterval
Values: N (100)
Description Where N is some integer greater than 2.
Specifies the time in milliseconds between
repeats of a single page scroll.
Resource: scrollbar.lineInterval
Values: N (1)
Description Where N is some integer greater than 0.
Specifies the time in milliseconds between
repeats of a single line scroll. How long to
pause scrolling when holding down the SELECT
button on the scrollbar elevator. Scrollbar
sets up a timer routine for repeats.
Resource: text.maxDocumentSize
Values: N (2000)
Description Where N specifies the bytes used in memory
before a text file is saved to a file on
disk. Once this limit is exceeded, the text
package will send a notice to the user to
tell them that no more insertions are possi-
ble. If the file being edited is saved to a
file, or it is a disk file being edited, then
the limit does not apply.
Resource: text.retained
Values: True, False (False)
Description If True, retain text windows with server
backing store.
Resource: text.extrasMenuFilename
Values: filename (/usr/lib/.text_extras_menu)
Description Where filename is an absolute location to a
file. Can also be set via environment vari-
able EXTRASMENU. This file is used for the
text package's Extras menu. The commands
specified in the extras menu are applied to
the contents of the current selection in the
textsw window and then it inserts the results
at the current insertion point.
Resource: text.enableScrollbar
Values: True, False (True)
Description When False, do not put a scrollbar on textsw
objects.
Resource: text.againLimit
Values: N (1)
Description Where N is an integer between 0 and 500.
Number of operations the "again history"
remembers for a textsw.
Resource: text.autoIndent
Values: True, False (False)
Description When True, begin the next line at the same
indentation as the previous line as typing in
text.
Resource: text.autoScrollBy
Values: N (1)
Description Where N is an integer between 0 and 100.
Specifies the number of lines to scroll when
type-in moves insertion point below the view.
Resource: text.confirmOverwrite
Values: True, False (True)
Description When False, do not give user confirmation if
a save will overwrite an existing file.
Resource: text.displayControlChars
Values: True, False (True)
Description When False, use an up arrow plus a letter to
