Glossary

active window

The active window is the window with a highlighted (usually blue)
title bar. A window must be active for you to perform tasks in it.

To open and activate a window, choose the window type from the
View menu.

To activate a window that is already open, select it from the list at
the bottom of the Window menu, or click anywhere on the
window.

application window

In Windows NT, an application window is the window frame
surrounding the application workspace on the desktop.

Deko500’s application window is its main window, with
“Deko500” on the title bar. When Deko500 is active, this title bar
is highlighted, usually in blue (unless you’ve changed the
Windows NT color scheme).

arithmetic operator

An arithmetic operator is a symbol (

+, -, *, /, %

) that

performs a mathematical operation, such as addition, subtraction,
multiplication, or division, within an expression.

array

An array is a set of data values. In Deko500, elements of an array
are referenced as variables that include the array name and an
index number (which must be an integer or an expression that
returns an integer), e.g.

$a[0]

,

$a[2+3],

and

$a[9999]

.

assignment operator

The assignment operator is a symbol (=, +=, -=,etc.) that assigns a
value to a variable. For example,

$a = 3.

at-sign variable

An at-sign variable, so called because its initial character is always
@, is a pre-defined global system variable that is always accessible
to commands and macros.
