The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software,

If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming,
you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully
out of date.
_settextwindow
◄Summary► ◄Example► ◄Up► ◄Contents► ◄Index► ◄Back►
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
The _settextwindow function specifies a window in row and column
coordinates, where all the text output to the screen is displayed.
The arguments (<r1>, <c1>) specify the upper left corner of the
text window. The arguments (<r2>, <c2>) specify the lower right
corner of the text window.
Text is output from the top of the text window down. When the text
window is full, the uppermost line scrolls up out of it.
Note that this function does not affect the output of
presentation-graphics text (e.g., labels, axis marks). It
also does not affect the output of the font-display routine
_outgtext. Use the _setviewport function to control the display
area for presentation graphics or fonts.
Return Value
None.
