Purpose

Move Cursor and Report Distance Moved.

Operation

This package provides six functions for moving the cursor. Unlike their Visual SlickEdit counterparts, each of these functions reports the number of lines or columns that were skipped. The functions are:

• tlaBeginLine - move cursor to first column of current line and report number of columns skipped.

• tlaBottomBuffer - move cursor to last line and last column of current buffer and report number of lines skipped.

• tlaBottomWindow - move cursor to last line and last column of current window and report number of lines skipped.

• tlaEndLine - move cursor to last column of current line and report number of columns skipped.

• tlaTopBuffer - move cursor to first line and first column of current buffer and report number of lines skipped.

• tlaTopWindow - move cursor to first line and first column of current window and report number of lines skipped.
