Syntax

READ_MEMO( [ cFld_name[, nTr[, nTc[, nBr[, nBc, ;
           [, lMay_edit[, xcUdf [, cHdr ;
           [, nLine_len[, nRow[, nCol[, nColor ;
           [, lSavescr[, lIsmemo ]]]]]]]]]]]]]] )

Purpose

Pop up a window to edit a memo or any text, restore the screen afterwards.
While the window is up, Alt M moves it, Alt S sizes it and Alt T makes it
tiny for easy movement. If altered, the coordinates are saved to the
current HELP record if the user is in HELP, or to the current DICT record
if DICT is open.
