Specifies the lower and upper limits (as DOUBLE PRECISION arguments) for subsequent %rf (Edit Floating Point) formats. The lower and upper limits are supplied as arguments.

For example:

DOUBLE PRECESION x
i=winio@('%fl%rf',0.0D0,10.0D0,x)

The lower limit should be specified with care unless %co[CHECK_ON_FOCUS_LOSS] is used. If, for example, the lower limit were 500.0 and the user desired to enter the value 525.0, the number would be rejected as soon as the first digit 5 is entered. If CHECK_ON_FOCUS_LOSS is not used then the lower limit should be chosen to avoid this problem.

%`fl can be used after %rf in order to remove the limits for the next %rf.
