Description

The SAVE WINDOW command saves window definitions to a file that can be restored later with the RESTORE WINDOW command. A window is an area of the screen designated for output and input. There is no limit to the number of defined windows. Windows are created with the DEFINE WINDOW command and activated with the ACTIVATE WINDOW command. You may save a single window, a group of windows, or all the currently defined windows in the window file. The <window-name> is the name of the window as specified in the DEFINE WINDOW command. To save a group of windows, use the <window-name list>, which is a list of window names, each separated by a comma. To save all currently defined windows, use the ALL keyword.

By default, the SAVE WINDOW command saves windows to a file with a ".win" extension, however you may specify any extension desired. When windows are restored, they have the same status they had when last stored with the SAVE WINDOW command. Windows being restored will overwrite any current window with the same name.
