That's very simple.

Open a slave con_ (e.g.#6) at the start which covers the whole size of your program, it stays open the whole time, OUTL#6 it, check CTRL-F4, then WMOV#6.

That's all.
Strictly speaking, you dont need to open a channel especially for this, just use the main outline window your program uses. And please dont cover the whole screen, just your program outline!
However, if your program consists of several small windows, you cannot avoid using a slave channel for OUTLN and WMOV.

And nobody talked about the whole screen either. ;)

I actually consider this bad design (except in some very special cases). The user of a PE program should be able to see where the outline is - and that should be within the borders of the main window. Everything else is just irritating. If you really need a microscopic main window and large subwindows, I know someone who has invented a method to do this ;)

Hi Andrew.
I finally found time to install and study the functioning of your QLC 2.1. I must say that he impressed me very much. :o
Great work. :D
