Preset State

full window, 4.34

The CHEIGHT? query computes the character height as a percentage of the window height. This command is necessary for programs that want to adjust their graphics and TEXT displays depending on the window size. The characters remain the same size regardless of what size the window is. The units of the number returned is percent. For Example, executing the CHEIGHT? query on a full-screen window display returns 4.34. That is, the character height is 4.34% of the window height where the window is 23 (100 4 4.34) characters high.
