The console 'screen' is a grid of (character,attribute) pairs, so there are no lines as such... I'm not sure the box selection is super useful these days, but in the late 80s/early 90s, GUI-style interfaces were very popular, and a box selection makes a certain amount of sense, so you can avoid picking up borders and so on. Would have been nice if they'd got both types in from day 1 though... |
