VAXTPU CURSOR_VERTICAL — VMS 5.2

 CURSOR_VERTICAL

 Moves the cursor position up or down on the screen by the number of lines
 you specify.  The cursor does not move right or left.  CURSOR_VERTICAL
 allows free cursor motion.

 Syntax

    [integer2 :=] CURSOR_VERTICAL (integer1)

 Parameters

    integer1   The number of screen lines to move the cursor.  Positive
               values are toward the bottom of the screen.  Negative values
               are toward the top of the screen.

    integer2   The number of lines that the cursor actually moved.  If you
               specified a value for integer1 that would put the cursor
               outside the current window and if SET
               (CROSS_WINDOW_BOUNDS...) is set to OFF, CURSOR_VERTICAL
               moves the cursor as many lines as possible while keeping the
               cursor in the current window.

 Example

    CURSOR_VERTICAL (+5);

 Moves the cursor position five lines down (toward the bottom of the
 screen).
