map_new_window()

Purpose

Saves the screen state

Old name

#define new_window map_new_window

Syntax

void map_new_window(void);

Description 

The map_new_window() function saves the state of the screen. It is used in the %savescrn feature of QA Build.

The map_new_window() function causes all maps on the screen to become inaccessible. The limit to the scrolling area specified by the function map_set_scroll_end() is unset.

When the function map_old_window() is called, the screen is restored to its original state before the function map_new_window() was called.

The maps that are saved still count towards the limit of 50 maps which can be displayed at a time by the 4.5xx terminal manager. There is no limit to the number of maps in 4.6xx
