CURSOR integer-expression, integer-expression
Moves the text cursor to the given X,Y coordinates (column, row).
The origin is the top-left corner at (0,0).
- X = column (0 is the leftmost column)
- Y = row (0 is the top row)
After moving the cursor, subsequent PRINT output starts at that position.
Example
CLS
CURSOR 10, 5
PRINT "Hello from (10,5)"
- Note
- Use TERMWIDTH and
-
TERMHEIGHT to compute
-
safe positions or to centre text.
Notes
- Affects the text layer only; graphics primitives (e.g. LINE) are unaffected.
- The cursor is reset to (0,0) by CLS.
- Valid screen coordinates depend on the current terminal size (0..TERMWIDTH-1, 0..TERMHEIGHT-1).
