Description

$FORM_TITLE determines when a form title appears in character mode, and the video attributes for the title when it does appear. $FORM_TITLE is effective only when $GUI=$CHR.

For a form without borders, when $FORM_TITLE is TRUE:

  • If the form starts at line 0, it moves down one line to make room for the line on which the form title is displayed.
  • If the form does not start at line 0 of the form area, the form title is displayed in the line above the form, obscuring a line of the underlying form.

For a form with borders, when $FORM_TITLE is is TRUE or BORDER, the form title appears centered over the top border line.

In either case, if the value of the ProcScript function $formtitle is empty, no form title is displayed. Whenever a form title is displayed, it appears between square brackets [ ].

$FORM_TITLE = TRUE,(BRI,INV)

To make the form title appear on bordered forms with white letters on a blue background, determine the color number by adding 56 (white foreground) and 1 (blue background):
