SET CURSOR FREE

 (Default.)  Enables free cursor motion, letting you move anywhere in the
 buffer and insert text whether characters are already there or not.

 Usage notes:

 o  With a free cursor, you can move left of the left margin (if the left
    margin is greater than 1), right of the right margin (and possibly out
    of view), 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,
    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  The cursor setting affects MOVE commands (arrow keys), NEXT SCREEN,
    PREVIOUS SCREEN, and some EDT and WPS keys.

 o  Free cursor motion is useful to create tables or other special layouts,
    because you can put the text anywhere in the buffer.  If you move the
    cursor into an unused area of the buffer, such as to the right of the
    right margin, and enter text there, EVE puts in spaces or blank lines
    between your existing text and where you put the new text.  In other
    words, EVE "pads" the gap with spaces or blank lines, which you can
    erase to close up the gap.

 o  To enable a bound cursor (as in EDT, WPS, and other editors), use SET
    CURSOR BOUND.  Also, enabling the WPS keypad automatically sets the
    cursor to bound.

 o  The seting applies in all buffers.  To save your setting for future
    editing sessions, use SAVE ATTRIBUTES to create a section file or to
    create or update a command file.  See help on Attributes.
