- DESCRIPTION

- .in +5
- SETCUR generates the appropriate code sequence to cause the
- cursor to be moved to the character position described by the
- parameters X and Y.
- This routine considers the display screen to occupy the first
- quadrant of the X,Y coordinate space.
- As such, cursor position 0,0 is located in the lower left corner
- of the display area.
- It should be noted that most terminals address the cursor in terms
- of a row and column address rather than an x,y position.
- The row,column addressing tends to place the display screen in the
- fourth quadrant and although this may be useful for text applications,
- it seems cumbersome for graphics applications.
