_ScrollTextWindow Procedure

Argument
count _GScrollUp, _GScrollDown, or number of lines to scroll
Description
The _ScrollTextWindow procedure allows you to scroll the text
window (defined by _SetTextWindow) up or down any specified number
of lines. A positive number scrolls the window up (the normal
direction), while a negative number scrolls the window down.
The constants _GScrollUp and _GScrollDown scroll the window up or
down one line. The arguments for _ScrollTextWindow can be an
expression such as _ScrollTextWindow( _GScrollUp * 8 ). Specifying
a number larger than the height of the current text window is
equivalent to calling the procedure _ClearScreen( _GWindow ).
Specifying 0 causes no action.
