CMOVE (function)

The CMOVE$ function can be used to generate a string that moves the text cursor a pre-set distance away from its current position. The command is followed by a pair of variables that represent the width and height of the required offset, and these values are added to the current cursor coordinates. Like LOCATE, either of the coordinates can be omitted, as long as the comma is positioned correctly. An additional technique is to use negative values as well as positive offsets.
