Synopsis: window scratch 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 -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.
