SELECT

Description:

SELECT returns a marker beginning a selection. SELECT flags the beginning of a range at the editing position with a marker and gives it an attribute as specified in the parameter. It may have no attributes, but that must be specified with the parameter NONE. The video attribute is not visible when the cursor is directly on a character, but is evident once it is moved. A buffer can only have one active select marker at a time.

A buffer may be padded with spaces or blank lines when using SELECT if the editing position is not the same as the cursor position.

Syntax:

marker := SELECT ( attribute )

Valid attributes are: BLINK, BOLD, NONE, REVERSE, UNDERLINE, BLACK, BLUE, CYAN, GREEN, MAGENTA, RED, WHITE, YELLOW

Errors:

TPU$_BADKEY Invalid keyword.

TPU$_NOCURRENTBUF Not in a buffer.

TPU$_ONESELECT Only one active SELECT per buffer allowed.
