ABSOLUTE CURSOR POSITIONING

          LEGEND: Ec = [Ctrl] [P] [Esc] in DOS EDIT

DEFINITION

     Absolute cursor movement always references the distance
     to move, from the top margin at the left bound of the
     logical page, which is the horizontal and vertical 0
     position.

     Cursor positioning is done in PCL coordinate system
     units.

     The units of the X-axis of the PCL coordinate system
     may be dots, decipoints or columns.  The units of the Y-
     axis of the PCL coordinate system may be dots,
     decipoints or rows.
