Synopsis:
window scratch <on|off>
Description:
When a window is defined as being a scratch window, it is accessed very
differently. Scratch windows do not scroll, and allow direct line-by-line
accessing. To allow this, a new flag has been added to xecho: -line.
Examples:
To create a scratch window, and add some text to it:
/window new scratch on fixed on discon
/* creates a non-movable, non-serverable scratch window */
/xecho -window <refnum> -line 1 This is in the scratch window.
See Also:
xecho(5)
Other Notes:
Scratch windows don't deal with being resized very gracefully. It is
suggested that you do /WINDOW NEW SCRATCH ON FIXED ON so that it can't be
resized on you. Scratch windows are best not bound to a server, always use
window(4) discon. Scratch windows have no scrollback, due to their
direct accessing.
