Subject:Names for elements on DOS Screen From:"Salan Pazurik" <spazurik -at- wencomine -dot- com> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Wed, 27 Dec 2000 16:48:56 -0800
I'm not sure what to call the elements on an old 16-bit screen.
There are a couple dozen elements on each screen (how ever many would fit on
one screen).
Each element is a name and some (unmarked) space to type a value.
Are they fields, options, settings...?
They aren't "boxes" or "lists".
And the screen is not a command line interface.
It's like a GUI without anything but text.
Anyone know of guidelines for old DOS interfaces? I've tried the recent
techwr-l archives and the Microsoft site to no avail.
TIA
