window.open

Syntax window.open (addr)

Params addr is the Object Database address of the object whose display window you wish to open.

Action Opens the window associated with displaying the object at addr.

Returns True

Examples With the examples window closed, type and execute:
window.open (@examples)


   » true

Notes Opening an open window has no effect and returns true.

This is one of the few window verbs that requires the address of an object rather than a title. That's because there is by definition no window open with a title when this verb is needed.

The difference between window.open and edit is that this verb does not explicitly establish addr as the target for subsequent content-editing verbs. We recommend you use edit to open a window for editing and window.open to open a window when other verbs

that are not content-changing are to be used on it.
