Controls the location where serial input from the terminal keyboard is received and displayed.
Syntax
WINDOW SET INPUT ON|OFF
Comments
The WINDOW SET INPUT command is set OFF by default.
When WINDOW SET INPUT is OFF, all serial input is received displayed in the application window (BACKSCREEN) regardless of which window is current. (The FORM INPUT and MENU INPUT commands operate in full-screen mode, and therefore are not affected by WINDOW SET INPUT.)
When WINDOW SET INPUT is ON, all line-by-line input occurs in the current window.

WINDOW SET OUTPUT
Controls if line-by-line terminal output is displayed in the application window (BACKSCREEN) or the current window.
Syntax
WINDOW SET OUTPUT ON|OFF
Comments
The WINDOW SET OUTPUT command is set OFF by default.
When WINDOW SET OUTPUT is OFF, all serial output to the terminal is displayed in the application window (BACKSCREEN) regardless of which window is current.

WINDOW SET INPUT EXPOSE
Makes the “next” saved form or display in the current Zim window the current form or display in the window.
Note: This command is invalid in Zim version 5 and above.
Syntax
FORM RESTORE
Comments
The FORM RESTORE command takes the “top” form or display from the “stack” of forms saved by FORM SAVE in the current window, making it the current form or display in the current window.
Note: The FORM RESTORE command must only be used with forms that are selected in text windows – never forms in graphical windows. Use of this command in Zim for Windows can cause system termination.

FORM SET
Controls automatic exposure of active windows on input requests.
Syntax
WINDOW SET INPUT EXPOSE ON|OFF
Comments
The WINDOW SET INPUT EXPOSE command is set ON by default.
When WINDOW SET INPUT EXPOSE is ON, the current window (if active) is always exposed when input is requested (by a FORM INPUT, INPUT, or MENU INPUT command). When WINDOW SET INPUT is set OFF, an input request does not cause an active window to be exposed.
An inactive current window is always automatically activated and exposed when the application user is given control of the interface, regardless of the WINDOW SET INPUT EXPOSE setting.
