(Map Mode)
Mnemonic: (MapMode = Mode)
Discussion: Sets the current coordinate mapping mode.<br.
This function determines how GDI functions are mapped into the QCRT display area.
The default uses pixels relative to the view area of the window.
Where Mode is:
- MM.PIXEL = 0 ! Coords. = pixels
- MM.PIXEL.MARG = 1 ! Coords. = pixels + margin offset
- MM.COSWUNIT = 2 ! Coords. = COSW units
- MM.COSWUNIT.MARG = 3 ! Coords. = COSW units + margin offset
- MM.QCRTROWCOL = 4 ! Coords. = QCRT row/cols + margin offset
Note: QCRT coordinates are always relative to the margins
(MC)
Mnemonic: (MC)
Hex equivalent: "@0401@"
Discussion: Remember cursor.
The (MC) control code saves the current location of the cursor for subsequent use with the "restore cursor" control code.
See Restore Cursor (RC).
Example: a. 100 FORMAT (MC)
. PRINT (0,100)
Example b.
PRINT (0) (MC)
This example shows how to use the remember cursor control code.
When the PRINT statement is executed, the current position of the cursor will be saved by Comet.
Subsequently, the cursor can be repositioned to this location with the (RC) control code.
(Mouse Off)
Mnemonic: (Mouse Off)
Hex equivalent: "@0E0904@"
Discussion: This control closes the mouse driver.
Also see (Mouse On).
Example: a.
100 FORMAT (Mouse Off) . PRINT (0,100)
Example b.
PRINT (0) (Mouse Off)
(Move To)
Mnemonic: (Move To = x,y)
Discussion: Moves the current location pointer to the location specified by x, y.
Returns: The x and y coordinates of the previous position in LoResult and HiResult (respectivly).
History: This mnemonic is valid in Comet98 and greater.
Printer mnemonics for generic printers
| Mnemonic | Description |
| (CR) | Carriage return to the beginning of the next line |
| (Flush) | When sent to a RAW printer, causes any pending data retained by the spooler to be sent to the printer. |
| (FF) | Form feed to the top of the next page |
| (LF) | Line feed |
| (LS) | Linefeed suppress |
| (SL=n) | Skip n lines |
| (TR) | Set transparent printing mode |
Mouse driver mnemonics
| Mnemonic | Hex equivalent |
| (BIOS Mouse On) | "@0E0905@" |
| (Easy Scan) | "@0E0000@" |
| (Enhanced Characters On) | "@0E0907@" |
| (Enhanced Characters Off) | "@0E0908@" |
| (Enhanced Mouse On) | "@0E0906@" |
| (Hide Mouse Cursor) | "@0E0902@" |
| (Mouse Off) | "@0E0904@" |
| (Mouse On) | "@0E0900@" |

NLM mnemonics
Mnemonic
(Force Close=server-number, filename, directory)
(Force Logout=server-number, node-name)
(Get Connection Info=server-number, node-name)
(Get Extract Info=server-number, extracted-key, filename, directory)
(Get Server Time=server-number)
(Who Has File=server-number, filename, directory)
(Spool Message)
Mnemonic: (Spool Message=string-argument)
Discussion: For legacy spool jobs (QSPOOL) the (Spool Message) mnemonic appends an identification message to a job in the Comet print spooler.
Beginning in Comet 2005, it may be used with pdf, htm, or txt printers to specify the name of the document file for type "X" archives.
The string-argument is a string constant or variable with a maximum length of 50 bytes.
History: This mnemonic was added in Comet version 504.208 and requires an up-to-date version of the MTB50 file. Example:
OPEN (1) "SP1" PRINT (1) (SPOOL MESSAGE="Sales Report")
