Usage
DRAWVLINE is useful for creating attractive screen displays in batch
files. It detects other lines and boxes on the display, and creates the
appropriate connector characters when possible (not all types of lines
can be connected with the available characters).
For example, to draw a double width line along the left margin of the
display with bright red characters on a black background:
drawvline 0 0 25 2 bright red on black
The row and column values are zero-based, so on a standard 25 line by 80
column display, valid rows are 0 - 24 and valid columns are 0 - 79.
DRAWVLINE checks for a valid row and column, and displays a "Usage"
error message if either value is out of range.
See Colors and Color Names for details about colors and notes on the use
of bright background colors.
DRAWVLINE uses the standard line and box drawing characters in the U.S.
English extended ASCII character set. If your system is configured for a
different country or language, or a font which does not include these
characters, the box may not appear on your screen as you expect.
