                                   BE BOX 
 

Description:   Displays a box outline on the screen and does not overlay any
               data inside the box. 
 
Syntax:        Version 4.5:   BE BOX (top-row)[,] (left-col)[,]
                              (bottom-row)[,] (right-col)  [DOUBLE | SINGLE]
                              [[BLINKING]  [BRIGHT | BOLD] [(line-color)]
                              [[ON] (back-color)]]  
 
                                Parameters: 
 
(top-row)      The row on the screen where you want to display the top line
               of the box. The number of the first row is 0. 
 
(left-col)     The column on the screen where you want to display the left
               line of the box. The number of the first column is 0. 
 
(bottom-row)   The row on the screen where you want to display the bottom
               edge of the box. The last row on most standard (25-line)
               screens is 24, but some adapters can display more rows. The
               (bottom-row) value must be greater than the (top-row) value. 
 
(right-col)    The column on the screen where you want to display the right
               edge of the box. The last column number is 79. The (right-col)
               value must be greater than the (left-col) value. 
 
DOUBLE | SINGLE     Specifies either a double-line box or a single-line box.
                    The default value is DOUBLE. 
 
BLINKING       Causes the box to blink on and off. On some monitors this
               keyword works only if you specify (back-color). 
 
BRIGHT | BOLD  Displays the box lines in high intensity. 
 
(line-color)   The color of the box lines. The default is the current
               foreground color setting for the screen. After BE BOX
               executes, any characters you display within the box border
               using other BE commands, such as BE ASK <NUBEASK> or BE ROWCOL
               <NUBEROWC>, appear in (line-color). If you use a DOS command
               such as ECHO or TYPE to display characters, the characters
               appear on the screen in the original foreground and background
               colors. 
 
(back-color)   The color of the background frame for the box lines. If you do
               not provide (line-color), you *MUST* include the ON keyword.
               The default is the current background setting for the screen.
               After BE BOX executes, any characters you display within the
               box border using other BE commands, such as BE ASK or BE
               ROWCOL, appear on a background of (back-color). If you use an
               DOS command such as  ECHO or TYPE to display characters, those
               characters appear in the original foreground and background
               colors. 
 
Example:       To display a box that is large enough to contain a 10 column
               by 5 row area of data in the upper left corner of the screen
               and that appears as blinking, green double lines on a black
               border, enter:

               BE BOX 0, 0, 6, 11 DOUBLE BLINKING GREEN ON BLACK
