Use SelectPageDown to create a selection or to extend downward a selection by one page. SelectPageDown is one of a group of commands that support standard GUI keyboard selection.  The other commands in this group are:

 

SelectCursDown

BIM-EDIT/XP provides an alternative method of keyboard selection which is more flexible.  See Selection for details.

 

SelectPageDown may also be entered as SelectPageD[own] or SelPageD[own].

 

SelectPageDown may also be invoked by pressing Shift-PageDown.

 

SelectPageDown has no operands.

 

If SelectPageDown is invoked while select state is inactive, select state is activated with type LINE.  One page starting at the cursor line is selected. If SelectPageDown is invoked again, the next page of lines is selected.

 

If SelectPageDown is invoked while select state is active with type COLUMN, the type COLUMN selection is converted to type GRID.  The portion of the page of lines starting with the cursor line intersecting with the column selection is then selected.

 

If SelectPageDown is invoked while select state is active with type GRID, the grid is extended downward by a page.

 

If SelectPageDown is invoked while select state is active with type CHAR, the cursor is moved forward by a page and the characters between the original cursor location and the new cursor location are selected.

 

If SelectPageDown is invoked while the cursor is positioned on unit which is already selected, units are deselected rather than selected.

 

Return Codes

 

OK Successful.
