Dear All,<br>
<br>
From Project Oberon Book,<br>
<br><br>
<br><br>
A special facility is introduced for designating viewers as<br>
operands: the star marker. It is placed at the cursor position when<br>
the keyboard's mark key (SETUP) is pressed. The procedure<br>
Oberon.MarkedViewer identifies the viewer in whose area the star<br>
lies. Commands which take it as their parameter are typically<br>
followed by an asterisk in the text. Whether the text contained in a<br>
text viewer, or a graph contained in a graphic viewer, or any other<br>
part of the marked viewer is taken as the actual parameter depends<br>
on how the command procedure is programmed.<br>
<br>
Huh, here I couldn't understand, what is a marked viewer. Which one is<br>
the equivalent of "keyboard's mark key" in IBM 102 style keyboard? How a<br>
graph be input to some command? I am not able to understand this paragraph!<br>
<br></blockquote><div>When you type the F1 key, a large marker appears where the mouse cursor is. It looks like the * or a snowflake.</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

With thanks and best regards,<br>
