Discussion
The .FILL command defines a string to fill the entire window as well as default renditions for the window and every object on the window. Because you will normally want any input to be placed over the filled background, you should use this command at the beginning of your window definition before any other text is loaded. If you process input before filling the window, the fill string will overwrite the entire window.
On Windows, when used within an input window that contains buttons, string and rendition (with the exception of COLOR) will not extend into the area added onto the window to accommodate the buttons.
