EVE SHRINK_WINDOW — VMS 5.5

 SHRINK WINDOW

 Shrinks the height of the current window by a specified number of lines,
 if you are using two or more windows in EVE.

 Example:

    The following commands split the current window into two windows of
    equal size and then shrink the new, lower window by five lines:

       Command: TWO WINDOWS
       Command: SHRINK WINDOW 5

 Usage notes:

 o  SHRINK WINDOW subtracts lines from the bottom of the window unless it
    is the bottommost window:

 o  The maximum size and number of windows in EVE depend on the size and
    type of your terminal.  The minimum size is 1 line for text plus 1 line
    for the status line, and on DECwindows, 1 line for the horizontal
    scroll bar.  Thus, with a 21-line main window (as on a VT220 terminal),
    you can have 11 windows, each displaying one line of text.

 o  For more information about using multiple windows in EVE, see help on
    Windows.
