This statement specifies the size of the scroll area; i. e., the area which is cleared by
PRINT " E ".
The first example specifies the entire screen as the scroll area. The second specifies
the area between lines 5 and 15 as the scroll area. The third specifies the area bet-
ween columns 5 and 30 as the scroll area. The fourth specifies the 1 0 x 1 0 positions
at the upper left corner of the screen as the scroll area.
This statement is useful for excluding the left and/or right edges of the image from
the display area. When they are hidden behind the edges of the screen.
The last example does not specify the scroll area. When the scroll area is not speci-
fied, it is possible to scroll the screen up or down.
However, this makes it harder to perform screen editing because the values of Cn
and In become smaller.
