You can use a PRINT# statement to control the cursor. The cursor control instructions can be used for four purposes: • To clear the display (instead of using a double PRINT# statement). • To select the cursor type (underscore or block). • To enable or disable the cursor. • To place the cursor at a specified position or to move it.
