Required Arguments

ON
turns on the AUTOFLOW command in the window so that text flows when it is inserted in the window.

Details

The AUTOFLOW command controls whether text inserted with the INCLUDE, PASTE, or COPY command automatically flows. When text is flowed, the left and right boundaries are determined by the settings that were specified with previous executions of the INDENT and BOUNDS commands. The AUTOFLOW command controls all text that is inserted in the window. It does not stop at paragraph boundaries.

Comparisons

The AUTOFLOW command controls whether text inserted in the window flows, while the TF command flows text that is already in the window.
