Summary |
Configures the size and update priority of the edit bar area beneath the work area. The edit bar can also be toggled on or off using the wct macro with a value of ^2. Updating of the text display is also affected by the trf macro. |
Example extract |
The example below specifies the size and position of the edit bar:
The - syntax specifies that the edit bar should be positioned in the right of the work area. The 40 specifies that the edit bar is 40 columns wide. |

Syntax
|
num lines:n |
Specifies the size of the edit bar. A value of 0 switches off the information line and uses 1 editing line. Negative values, e.g. -40, are used to specify the width of the edit bar in columns and locate the edit bar area to the right of the window rather than at its foot. |
priority:n |
Specifies a delay factor before the main work area is updated with any newly typed text. Specifying a value that is too low will update the main area as soon as typing stops. This may be distracting and impede progress. Specifying a value that is too high will leave you waiting to see how your text looks when you have finished typing. A value of between 5 and 10 is usually appropriate for efficient typists, but the best value will depend on your own preferences, the job in hand, and the speed of your computer. |
