SIZE

The LINES setting specifies the number of lines of text that are visible in the list box. The SIZE setting determines the maximum width of the text area as a multiple of the width of the "0" (zero) character of the list box's font. Any overhead needed for the box itself, or any scroll bars, is added to the height and width. The list box handler does not allow partial lines of text to be displayed, so the height of the list box may be reduced accordingly.

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.

Note that the scroll bar is hidden if the list of items is small enough to be shown on the screen. If this happens, the list box may appear wider than specified as some systems add the space devoted to the scroll bar into the text area. When enough items are added to the list to require a scroll bar, the text space is reduced and the scroll bar displayed.

The default LINES value is "5". The default SIZE value is "12".
