Important Notice
The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software,
purely for historical purposes.
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out of date.
Mark Function

─────Programmer's WorkBench─────────────────────────────────────────────────
The Mark function moves the cursor to a mark or specific location,
defines marks, and deletes marks.
NOTE: You cannot set a mark at specific text in a PWB window
such as Help; PWB marks only the window position.
If you want to save marks between sessions, assign a filename to
the Markfile switch or use the Set Mark File command on the Search
menu.
See: Markfile, ◄Search menu, Set Mark File►
