7.0;as (arrow_scale) *DM*, revision 7.0, 83/08/08
AS (ARROW_SCALE) *DM* -- Set scale factors for arrow keys.
usage: as [x[y]]


FORMAT

  AS [x[y]]


  The AS command sets scale factors for the arrow keys.  The scale
  factor is useful for changing the apparent sensitivity of the arrow keys
  and for lining up the edges of windows after moving them.

ARGUMENTS

  If no arguments are specified, then the default scale factors are used,
  as described below.

  x
  (optional)       Specify horizontal scale factor in raster units (integer).
                   This value must be in the range 0-1023.  (Note, however,
                   that portrait displays may only display up to 800 raster
                   units in this dimension.)  There are approximately 100
                   raster units per inch.  The default horizontal movement
                   is the width of the character on which the cursor rests;
                   if the cursor is not on a character, the DM uses the width
                   of a space in the last window.  Specifying 0 for 'x'
                   indicates that the default should be used.
                   Default if omitted: 0

  y
  (optional)       Specify vertical scale factor in raster units (integer).
                   This value must be in the range 0-1023.  (Note, however,
                   that landscape displays may only display up to 800 raster
                   units in this dimension.)  The default vertical movement
                   is the height of a line in the last window.  Specifying 0
                   for 'y' indicates that the default should be used.
                   Default if omitted: leave current y value unchanged
