CONSOLE

The CONSOLE command allows you to define an area of the screen where the text output will take place. This area can be defined in both text and graphical mode. Normally, it is set to the entire screen surface, but can be limited with this command. This command works only with texts. The parameters describe the four vertices.

Note that the number of rows (ROWS) and columns (COLUMNS) will be updated conseguently. If you need the screen rows and columns, you need to use SCREEN ROWS and SCREEN COLUMNS.
