Revised:February 2, 1983 by Martin Yonke

This file contains one record declaration which declares ACCESSFNS for all the standard window properties. This allows one to write code using fetch and replace instead of WINDOWPROP function calls. Using CLOSEFN as the example property, the following become equivalent:

(fetch CLOSEFN of WINDOW) = (WINDOWPROP WINDOW (QUOTE CLOSEFN))

and

(replace CLOSEFN of WINDOW with FOO) = (WINDOWPROP WINDOW (QUOTE CLOSEFN) FOO)

This also has the advantage that you can now ask questions to MASTERSCOPE about CLOSEFN as a field.
