SCROLL Mnemonic - Set Scrolling Attributes

Syntax

'SCROLL'(col,row,cols,rows)
'SCROLL'("OFF")
'SCROLL'("ON")
'SCROLL'("RESET")

Description

The 'SCROLL' mnemonic defines a scrolling region within the current window starting at col,row containing cols in width and extending rows down. This region must be fully contained within the current window. Otherwise, an !ERROR=1 is generated. Within this region, the upper left corner is considered 0,0 (home) and all cursor addressing, with the exception of the 'WINDOW' and 'MOVE' mnemonics, will be relative to this.
