Discussion

IB_DSP_AREA sets the display area for a new input window. It is used when building a new input window at runtime. The default display area is the entire input window.

The view is movable if the display area is smaller than the size of the window. If the window is an input window, the input processing system adjust the view as necessary to include the entire input field being processed. If you want a movable view, note that you must use this subroutine rather than the W_AREA windowing routine.
