Usage
ColumnNum LineNum _dspmoveto
ColumnNum Character column at which to locate invisible next character pointer.
LineNum Character line at which to locate invisible next character position.
Comments
On printers with front panel character displays,
_dspmoveto
allows the programmer to position
the invisible next character pointer on the display. The invisible next character pointer establishes
the location at which the
_dspstring
operator will display any future string.
The PAL interpreter maintains separate locations for the invisible next character pointer and the
visible cursor. This allows the PAL programmer to write new characters onto the display without
affecting the position of the visible cursor.
