DM COMMANDS

7.0;wm (window_move) *DM*, revision 7.0, 83/08/18
WM (WINDOW_MOVE) *DM* -- Move a window across the screen.
usage: [region]wm


FORMAT

  [region]WM


  The WM command moves a window across the screen.  The DM moves the
  window whose nearest unobscured edge or corner is the first point
  of the region.  The new location of this edge or corner is the second
  point of the region.  So, to move a window, place the cursor at one
  corner of the window you want to move and issue the DR command (or
  press <MARK>).  Next, place the cursor at the desired new position
  of the corner.  Finally, issue the WM command.

  By default, the <MOVE> key invokes the WM command on keyboard 2
  while CTRL/W provides the same function on keyboard 1.

  If you do not define a region, the WM command causes the nearest window
  corner to be moved to the current cursor position.  This can cause
  unexpected results if there are multiple windows on the screen, however,
  since your idea of the "nearest" window may not be the same as the DM's.
  In that case, it is safer to <MARK> the window you want to move.
