SET CURSOR FREE
Sets the cursor to move freely, as opposed to being bound to the shape or
flow of your text. (Default setting.)
o With a free cursor, you can move anywhere in the buffer and insert text
whether characters are already there or not. You can move left of the
left margin (if the left margin is greater than 1), right of the right
margin, or past the [End of file] marker (if the buffer is shorter than
the current window).
o For example, if you are at the end of a line and press the right arrow
key, the cursor moves past the end of the line and you can put text there.
By contrast, a bound cursor moves to the start of the next line.
o To enable a bound cursor (as in EDT and similar editors), use the SET
CURSOR BOUND command. You may want to put the command in your EVE
initialization file. Also, using the SET KEYPAD WPS command
automatically sets the cursor to bound.
