7.2.1.1 Displaying the cursor position
When you are automating data communications, it is helpful to know the posi-
tion of the cursor since this is used by the MT9750 programming language
functions. Activate the Show position option under Cursor Shape; additional infor-
mation in the status line (e.g. 2/40) indicates the position (line/column) of the
cursor.
Linear specification of the cursor position
The linear specification of the cursor position is the position specified as an inte-
ger, which is calculated as the following sum:
(columns per line x (cursor line-1)) + cursor column.
Example:
The position 5/24 (5th. line/24th. column) gives the following result for a screen
size of 24x80: 80 x (5-1) + 24 = 344
The linear position is displayed in the status line if the MTS file for the session
in question contains the following entry:
ShowCursorPosLin=1
