Text

The default setting for this is four characters, which can be changed as follows:

SET TAB
instruction: change Tab setting
Set Tab number

This simple command specifies the number of characters that the text cursor will move to the right when the next TAB$ is printed. For example:

E> Cls : Print "Home"
   Print Tab$;"And"
   Set Tab 10 : Print Tab$;"Away"

CDOWN
instruction: move text cursor down
Cdown

Use this command to force the text cursor down a single line, like this:

E> Cls: Print "Over" : Cdown : Print "the Moon"

CDOWN$
function: return control character to move text cursor down
c$=Cdown$

The effect of summoning up the special control character (Ascii 31) is exactly the same as printing after a CDOWN command. The advantage of this alternative is that several text cursor movements can be combined in a single string, using CDOWN$. For example:

E> C$="Going Down"+Cdown$
   For A=0 To 20
    Print C$
   Next A

CUP

Cup

CLEFT
instruction: move text cursor one character left

CRIGHT
instruction: move text cursor one character right
