Managing Windows
HP Browse allows you to divide the screen into two windows so you can
independently browse two different files, or different portions of one
file, at the same time. This can be useful for comparing text in two
different places.
Opening a Second Window
To open a second window:
1. Move the cursor to the line you want to be at the top of the new
window.
2. Press the Windows function key.
3. Press the Open Window function key.
HP Browse opens a new window. Each window acts as a separate display.
To open a second file in one of the windows, use the Open File function.
Switching between Two Windows
To make the other window the current window, either:
1. Use the cursor movement keys, arrow keys, or Switch Window
function key to move the cursor to the other window.
Or:
1. Press the Windows function key.
2. Press the Switch Window function key.
HP Browse makes the other window the current window. All functions apply
to the current window.
Closing and Hiding a Window
To close or hide a window:
1. Use the cursor movement or arrow keys to position the cursor
anywhere within the window you want to close.
2. Press the Windows function key.
3. Press the Close Window function key.
HP Browse closes the window.
If the two open windows display different files, when you close one of
the windows HP Browse only hides that window. You can redisplay the
hidden window with the Switch Window function or by closing the remaining
window with the Close Window function. Either of these hides the current
window and redisplays the hidden window.
To display both files in two windows again, use the Open Window function.
Changing the Size of a Window
To change the size of a window:
1. Position the cursor within the window to be resized.
2. Press the Windows function key.
3. Enter a number indicating how many lines you want in the window.
(If you skip this step, the window size will be increased by one
line.)
4. Press the Size Window function key.
When you resize the current window, the size of the other window will be
adjusted to accommodate the new size of the current window.
