9.5;curs (cursor_lock), revision 9.5, 86/07/23
CURS (CURSOR_LOCK) -- Control cursor positioning.
usage:  CURS [-ON|-OFF]


FORMAT

  CURS [-ON | -OFF]


  CURS  controls  whether or not a window is available for cursor positioning by
  the DM command TN (TO_NEXT_WINDOW), normally invoked  by  <NEXT  WNDW>.    All
  windows initially default to CURS -ON, which permits the DM to move the cursor
  into all windows via the TN command.

  CURS operates on a per-window, per-pane basis. For example,  you  may  prevent
  the  DM  from moving the cursor to a transcript pad's pane while permitting it
  to move the cursor to the related input pad's pane.

  To set the window state, simply point to the appropriate window and then issue
  the CURS command.


OPTIONS

  If no option is specified, CURS toggles the current mode.

  -ON                Enable cursor positioning.

  -OFF               Disable cursor positioning.
