SIZE

Entry fields determine their height by multiplying the LINES value by the height of the entry field's font. If the entry field is also boxed (the default), then the space required for the box is added to the height.

Entry fields determine their width by multiplying the SIZE value by the standard or wide font measure as described below. If the entry field is also boxed, the space required for the box is added to the width. Entry fields have a minimum width of at least one character.

When the program executes on a non-graphical system, the values specified in the CLINES and CSIZE phrases, if present, replace the values specified by the LINES and SIZE phrases.

The default LINES value is "1". The default SIZE value depends on whether or not a VALUE is specified when the field is created. If a VALUE is specified, the default SIZE equals the size of the VALUE literal or data item. Otherwise, the default SIZE is "8".
