10.0;as (arrow_scale) *DM*, revision 1.0, 87/12/23
as (arrow_scale) - set scale factors for arrow keys
usage: as [x[y]]



DESCRIPTION
     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 you do not specify arguments, the default scale factors are used as
     described below.

     x (optional) Specify a horizontal scale factor in raster units (integer).
                  This value must be in the range 0-1023.  (Note, however,
                  that portrait displays may display only 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 a vertical scale factor in raster units (integer).
                  This value must be in the range 0-1023.  (Note, however,
                  that landscape displays may display only 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
