VAXTPU CURSOR_HORIZONTAL — VMS 5.2

 CURSOR_HORIZONTAL

 Moves the cursor position left or right across the screen by the number of
 columns you specify.  This may move the cursor off the text in the buffer.
 CURSOR_HORIZONTAL allows free cursor motion.

 Syntax

    [integer2 := ] CURSOR_HORIZONTAL (integer1)

 Parameters

    integer1   The number of columns to move the cursor.  Positive values
               are to the right.  Negative values are to the left.

    integer2   The number of columns that the cursor actually moved.  If
               you specified a value that would have moved the cursor
               outside the window, CURSOR_HORIZONTAL moves the cursor as
               many columns as possible while keeping the cursor in the
               window.

 Example

    CURSOR_HORIZONTAL (+1);

 Moves the cursor position one screen column to the right.
